Hello! Welcome to my travel log. As I travel all around the state and country in relation to my new role at the Mississippi Arts Commission as Executive Director, I want to bring you along. Sketching has been a part of my creative expression since refining it in architectural school and I love to sketch when I travel. I have been so inspired by all that I have seen and the people I have met. I want to share that with you through this series. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey.

Hello friends! Over the past few months, you may have gotten to know me a little bit, and I’ve gotten to know many of you as well. A lot has happened since I joined the MAC team, and I would like to update you on what we’ve been working on. Since I stepped into my role in mid-January, MAC has held the Governor’s Arts Awards and Arts Day at the Capitol and finished a very generous and fruitful legislative session.
Go make Mississippi.
