ABOUT

As founder and key grant writer, I welcome you to Artistry Grants. Here, we help bring your artistic dreams to life by finding grant opportunities, crafting persuasive proposals, and helping to write artist statements.

A little bit about me:

I am an excellent combination of both left and right brain thinking. I hold a master's degree in library and information science from the University of Pittsburgh with a specialization in research databases. In addition, my undergraduate degree is in English with a minor in art.

I have over seven years of experience writing grants for the arts, educational instituitions, and healthcare-related causes. My passions are finding artists and arts-based nonprofits the funding they need to both thrive and realize their projects.

I am also a practicing artist myself. My specialties are in painting and puppetry/puppet-building. Egghead Arts, my educational puppetry company, does community arts outreach to further awareness of puppet arts in the West Tennessee region.

I reside in West Tennessee, but have clientele from across the nation. I have lived in many states across the beautiful United States, including West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and Tennessee.
