My name is L. Coté and I am a self taught artist. I established Nature Provides Art as a way of using fine art and photography to communicate with people. We have all come across things that speak to us; things that help express who we are, things that help tell our stories in ways that we never could. My hope is that my art becomes a part of what helps you tell your story. My life started on the poorer side of the tracks. Yet my mother always found a way to give me dance classes, private school and college. She suffered greatly so that my sister and I could have a chance at life. Her sacrifice made my life possible.
