Meet the Board of Directors

I am 4th generation Polk County resident having lived on pioneer farms my whole life. 
My career has been varied. I designed and built Victorian style homes for 14 years, restored 4 historic buildings in our downtown, owned a restaurant and event center and for 34 years have had a performing arts theatre, Moonfall Theatre, featuring local artists including Miss Piggy.

I bring experience with event planning and coordination, collaboration with other community groups, budgeting, grant writing, and more. I enjoy diving into projects and I am committed to continuing the growth of the arts community in Dallas.

I have been an active board member of  the Dallas Arts Association for about 35 years and am excited about expanding the activities and focus. We have a rich history and a bright future. 

I have been the library director at the Dallas Public Library for 9 years. During this time I have worked to provide music, author, visual arts, dance, and storytelling programming for the residents of Dallas.

In addition to my job as a Library Assistant at the Dallas Public Library, I'm a freelance artist and writer. I grew up in Dallas and have many happy memories of participating in Art in the Park. I am excited to be a part of Dallas Arts Association and look forward seeing the arts community of Dallas grow.
