Welcome to the new Juried Artist Directory!

Our Directory is dedicated to creating a free, online listing of 2D and 3D visual artists who have been recognized by independent jurors and panels connected to the Arkansas Arts Council's programs. Directory artists have been recognized by programs, such as Small Works on Paper, Individual Artist Fellowships, Governor's Arts Awards or Arkansas Living Treasure programs.

Artists chosen for the Directory have the opportunity to showcase their artworks on a free platform to help promote and market themselves and their artistic careers. Works can be updated by contacting the artist services manager.

Through drawings and prints I am able to explore creative processes with the freedom to experiment. Graphite pencil, silverpoint and fine art printmaking provide a means to communicate subtle emotional feelings where words are often inadequate. In my work I hope to reveal my subject's personailty held secure behind the facade we see during casual encounters. In my portraits I hope to present the essence and spirit of one's soul. The accepting face of the child and the aged often reminds us of our own innocence and humanity.
