The idea for New Orleans Paint + Design was first conceived in 1998, during the install of a large indoor mural production for the STATE PALACE THEATER on Canal St. It was clear even then, over twenty years ago that there would be a need to create a pathway for people, art lovers, and benefactors to connect with the artists and artwork they see in their city.  NOP+D was created to be that conduit. Our goal is to add to our city's cultural economy through original, long lasting artistic offerings for clients who understand the value of traditional hand painted imagery versus digital media. We have worked for such clients as the ACE Hotel/DOMAIN group, Buku Music Experience, the Ogden Museum, Whole Foods Market, and the New Orleans Recreation Department. We also create interior design elements for local restaurants and hotels, and have assisted with set design on over a dozen major motion pictures and television shows. We seek to employ local working artists to best fit the style demanded by the client’s needs. Working with a wide range of skill sets allows us to offer a variety of services, including art installation, wood + metal work, as well as mural and design services.

Gabriel Flores, the founder, was a co-curator and featured artist in the 'History of New Orleans Graffiti' exhibit at the Ogden museum of Southern Art. In 2018 he was selected to produce a series of 25 portraits for the Times Picayune 300 for 300 tricentennial portrait series. He is the owner and graphic designer for The Inkwell Press, a garment decoration company that has served the local business and artist community for over 15 years in New Orleans. Drawing from that experience, NOP+D can deliver insight and aesthetic to a variety of creative endeavors.
