My family moved to Piggott, AR from Maine in 1995. I completed a 40-foot mural for the town in 1989, and three 6-foot panels for Piggott State Bank in 2003. I exhibit with local artists through the Clay County Arts Council, and am currently an art teacher for Rector High School. We were especially honored in 2007, where we received 2nd and 3rd place in the Arts in the Air state contest. I was pleased to participate in a painting workshop at the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Educational Center in 2007, where I painted the writers and landscapes from that site.
