What inspires you/your work?

My experiences through childhood, living in the Deep South, my worldview, politics, social justice, but also, things that make me smile. There is a very subtle line of visual humor and oddity in the work that revolves around more serious topics.

How do you network yourself and your art?

Social media and attending opening receptions and art events. Showing up for other artists and others in the art world is the best way to network authentically.

What was your experience living in the Twin Cities? Any hidden treasures?

Not to be a cliche southerner, but...the snow. I loved it! That was also a huge learning curve with some gripes here and there. But overall, I really miss it - it was so lovely. I lived in St. Paul and I really loved getting to experience both of the twin cities - living in one and working in the other.
