I’m beyond thrilled to have been part of the Pop-Up Alumni Print Exchange during the DNSPE 2024 Print Symposium! This incredible exhibition, running from May 14 to July 20, 2024, was a tribute to the creative exchange between the University of Tennessee Knoxville and Arkansas State University alumni artists.

The event took place in a truly inspiring space—the corridor linking the Bradbury Art Museum with the theaters at the Fowler Center—creating the perfect atmosphere for showcasing an impressive collection of exchanged prints. Each piece was a testament to the depth and innovation of printmaking traditions carried on by artists from both institutions.

Being part of this print exchange was an absolute honor. It allowed me to exhibit my own work alongside an immensely talented group of artists, highlighting the power of collaboration in the art world. Seeing my work displayed among so many other inspiring pieces reaffirmed my passion for printmaking and the connections it fosters within the creative community.

Events like these remind me why I love what I do—art isn’t just about individual expression; it’s about conversation, inspiration, and shared experiences. Huge thanks to everyone who made this exhibition possible!
