I graduated in 2004 with a BA in art from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Ironically I only took one of the many-offered painting classes for my major - I was more interested in drawing and sculpture at that time. I worked as a graphic artist for a couple of years before going into teaching. I started painting around three years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter Lily. I live in Little Rock with my daughter Lily (who just turned three!) and my husband Dylan of six years.
