Windgate Artist-in-Residence at ATU
The Creative Process at ATU (Arkansas Tech University) August–December 2025
During my tenure as the ATU Artist-in-Residence (August – December 2025), generously supported by the Windgate Foundation, I developed a new body of work titled Layers of Becoming. This collection is now part of the permanent archive at ATU, contributing directly to the visual memory and cultural identity of both the university and the surrounding region.
Alongside my intensive studio research, I actively engaged with the academic community through public artist talks, technical workshops, student critiques, and creative collaborations with the ATU Art Club.
