Native of Miami, Florida, Erica Larkin Gaudet completed her Bachelors in Sculpture from Loyola University of New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1991, she founded Toulouse Street Studio, a metal sculpting studio specializing in custom furniture & sculpture. At Toulouse Street Studio, Gaudet also taught and offered apprenticeships to many New Orleans metal artists as well as teaching metalworking at schools nationally & internationally.
Now operating as LARKIN GAUDET, LLC (located in Arabi) Gaudet continues to fabricate sculptural work for both private and public clients as well as her recently launched handcrafted furniture design line of beds, chairs, tables, lighting and luxury upholstery.
Gaudet's latest sculpture "Entrancing" was recently installed on Poydras Street in the heart of downtown New Orleans through the support of Sculpture for New Orleans public art.
