Advocacy

There are many things that I am passionate about. Advocacy for the arts tops my list. I am involved with several projects to promote Arts Education through a project to make it easier for students to earn points for AP and IB art courses taken in our schools. This is a legislative decision was successful with the passing of SB 556 in the Georgia 2026 legislative session and will go into effect July 1, 2026!!

Additionally, each year a percentage of my sales goes towards several organizations that are dear to my heart and whom my father worked with for over 40 years. These organizations support Indigenous tribes in the US and rural communities across the country. I've worked with them on small projects and hope to continue to support them.
