Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Peggyann Kennedy on the Write Better Together Podcast, an interactive, conversational show that explores the writing lifestyle and offers encouragement, support, and community for writers at every stage. During our conversation, we talked about my work and shared our mutual love of books and storytelling.

CITY HALL EXHIBITION EXTENDED

My original work Fragments, is currently on display in the first annual Arkansas Art for City Hall exhibition at Fayetteville City Hall. I was recently informed that the piece will remain on view through October 2026. If you're downtown near the Fayetteville Square, be sure to stop by and check out the exhibit.

The imagery in Fragments was inspired by a visit to the Pompidou Museum in Paris, France, and by a storefront window display I encountered on Via del Corso in Rome.

Exhibition Runs Through 10/26 • Fayetteville City Hall • 113 W Mountain St • Fayetteville, AR
