“I was good at art when I was a little kid but didn’t have any real interest in it until I was in high school. My art teacher encouraged me to continue, and the more I got into it, the more I liked it. After I got my BFA in painting from the U of M, I traveled a lot and participated in shows all over, but what I really wanted was to have my own gallery so I could develop a solid client base. Broadway Studios opened last December, and it's an event space as well as a studio / gallery. We do a lot of fund-raisers here too: St. Jude, Books from Birth, Shakespeare Theatre Company, and Grizzlies Prep, where a percentage of sales goes to the designated charity.
“In my own work, I’m inspired by historical themes, family stories, current issues, people, music, sounds, moods, books I read --- pretty much everything. I’ve noticed my palette changes with the seasons too: bright in the summer and darker in winter. There are so many things that speak to me, it’s sometimes hard to choose a subject.
“Besides working here at the studio, I also teach painting to high school seniors at St. George’s in Collierville.”
