My Story

I started my art career in 1998 working for a yearbook publishing company in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1999, I moved to Lowell, Arkansas, and worked as a prepress/preflight tech and graphic designer. Over the course of 25 years, my branding work and fine art has been seen all over the country, from Broadway Publishing and HGTV, to public installations and private collections. I opened a gallery, INTO+VIEW Gallery and Art Studios in 2021. My gallery focused on under-represented and emerging artists of color, and women. It served as a vehicle for establishing critical context connections, solidarity, and a sense of community for the artists by means of exhibitions, musical performances, shared art experiences featuring culinary arts, and resident artists’ workshops. I was honored to be a Mid America Arts Alliance Artist360 grant recipient, and a 2022 Black Action Collective Leading With Excellence Honoree. My work has been featured on HGTV’s “Fixer to Fabulous” during its’ second and third seasons.

I currently serve the City of Rogers as the Arts and Culture Manager, and as a board member of the Arkansas Committee for the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
