Handcrafted Shotgun House Sculptures That Celebrate Our City's Soul
Tamar Taylor's iconic shotgun house sculptures have become beloved symbols of New Orleans architecture. Each miniature home is individually handcrafted, celebrating the unique character of the narrow, colorful houses that line our streets and define our neighborhoods.
Inspired by the architectural heritage of New Orleans, Tamar creates each piece with meticulous attention to detail. From the distinctive rooflines to the vibrant colors that make our shotgun houses so recognizable, every sculpture preserves a piece of our city's character.
"These homes tell the story of New Orleans," says Tamar. "Each one has its own personality, just like the people who live in them. I want to capture that spirit in every piece I create."
Every shotgun house sculpture is handmade in small batches, never mass-produced. Tamar carefully crafts each detail—from tiny singles ($26) to elaborate doubles ($99)—ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This hands-on approach means each sculpture carries the artist's personal touch and dedication to quality.
When you purchase a Tamar Taylor shotgun house, you're not just buying a decoration—you're supporting a local New Orleans artist and preserving our architectural heritage. Each piece takes time, skill, and care to create, which is why these aren't available on mass-market sites. They're exclusive works of art that celebrate what makes our city unique.
Your purchase directly supports Tamar's work as a local creator and helps keep New Orleans artistry alive.
