I was featured in the Dallas Morning News!


Seriously humbled to have a featured article and to have people in our community say such nice things about me and my artwork! It was a cool experience to sit down with Haevan from the Dallas Morning News and talk about my work and take pictures around town with a photographer.


I can't say this enough, I am so grateful to the business owners in downtown McKinney for providing me with work and letting me make my mark in downtown McKinney. I wouldn't be where I am without you! Big shoutout to Fair and Square Imports and Guava Tree. for your kind words in this article. Thank you Kaci Lyford for giving me a spot on your walls at Patina Green!
