I was raised between Stanton and Memphis, Tennessee, with deep family roots tied to farming, homemaking, and preservation. Part of my childhood was spent on Joe Sanderlin Road, named after my great-grandfather, where generations of my family farmed land that continues to be worked today. I grew up surrounded by stories of resilience, creativity, and resourcefulness, from quilting and cooking to family members who fought against Jim Crow and sheltered Freedom Riders during the Civil Rights Movement. Before entering the fine art world, I earned my degree in Social Work from Delta State University and worked in behavioral and mental health care supporting individuals and families navigating complex challenges. That experience deeply shaped the way I communicate, problem solve, and care for people.
Over the years, my work evolved into the world of fine art, where I now help manage and support large-scale creative projects, exhibitions, commissions, collector relations, marketing, and strategic operations behind an established artist practice. I’ve contributed to public art initiatives, six-figure commissions, institutional partnerships, and exhibition planning while continuing to build a life centered around family, creativity, and storytelling.
Through SYMMBOL, I share the intersection of Art, Strategy, Motherhood, Food, Culture, and the everyday moments that shape meaningful living.
