1. Who are you and what do you do?
I am an artist, the Associate Curator at the monOrchid in downtown Phoenix, a freelance arts writer, a wife, and a proud mother of three.
2. How did you get your start?
I have been an artist since I was very young, and began pursuing my work full time about six years ago, extensively exhibiting my work in both Arizona and California. I had always enjoyed art and researching which lead me to pursue Art History. I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Art History from ASU in 2006. I joined the monOrchid in January 2013 and I am the Associate Curator. I am a freelance arts writer for Localrevibe Magazine, Arcadia News, and I have an arts column in East Valley Magazine.
