Gallery. I have worked in several art galleries and museums around the state over the
past 15 years. Recently I have curated shows for the Artscenter in Carrboro as a volunteer
and run my own commercial gallery as well. My focus has been on working with young
artists and organizations that support them. My most valuable training comes from two
years at the Weatherspoon Gallery in Greensboro and a year at Somerhill Gallery in
Chapel Hill. I have extensive teaching experience through workshops and as an art
instructor at Guilford Tech, and co- founded the now - defunct non - profit book arts group
Hand -to -Eye, and the BOTA Arts Collective. 02/17/2012: 1 have owned and operated a
few business in Orange County, and I am now a real estate agent in Carrboro. I am a
homeowner and an investor with 6 years experience as a residential sales agent.
Volunteer Experience: I have worked with the Artscenter, the Durham groups Hand -to -Eye
and Artomatic, I have written several arts- related articles for the Independent and I served
previously on the Arts Commission. I work with the Artscenter to maintain and improve its
main gallery by helping to bring in quality shows, curate and hang them. I also do some
paperwork and publicity associated with those tasks. Artists often ask me to help them
with hanging shows aound town, which I enjoy, and I end up advising young artists on
pricing, presentation, places to show and how to make connections with other artists.
02/17/2012: 1 have served on the Carrboro Planning Board and the Orange County Arts
Commission. At times, I have worked with the Partnership for Young Children, the
ChapelHill Downtown Commission and various local arts organizations. Through realtor
partners, I have helped Habitat for Humanity and NC Table.
Education: BA Psychology from Duke, 1987; MFA UNC- Greensboro, 1990. Certificate in
Non - Profit Management Courses and several advanced real estate designations.
Other Comments:
I have close ties to the community right now because of the high visibility my gallery has
given to me, and I feel that I am in a position to voice concerns of art. STAFF
COMMENTS: Applied 12/03/01 for Arts Commission. Reapplied 06/27/2006 for Arts
Commission. Applied 02/17/2012 for E &R Board. I hope to gain a better understanding
of the board's role, and to address inequities where they exist. I believe my experience
will be valuable, both from home sales and my work with various boards, groups and
committees. ADDRESS VERIFICATION: 113 Creekview Circle is in the Barrboro City
limits in Orange County.

Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
None
Boards /Commissions applied for:
Arts Commission
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
My master s degree in Folklore from UNC- Chapel Hill affords me a grounding in community -
based aesthetic culture. For the past three years I have directed the North Carolina Folklife
Institute, a statewide nonprofit based in Durham dedicated to preserving and promoting
traditional arts and cultures throughout the state. I have many connections in arts communities
from policy makers and consultants to working artists, community arts activists, and teachers.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I want to serve my local community and collaborate with others in the arts community. I would
also like to learn more about how decisions about arts and culture are made at the county level
and to contribute to increasing access to and diversity within the arts.
Conflict of Interest:
The only potential conflict of interest would be if my organization was working on a project in
Orange County or with a community partner who was applying for a grant from the Arts
Commission. Because we are a statewide organization, this is a possibility (in which case i
would abstain from that vote etc.) but there are no plans to work in Orange County at this time.

Boards /Commissions applied for:

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I have worked in the Arts all my working life. While I was in London I was first an Associate
Director of a theatre in the East End and for five years the director of a 500 seat venue in the
center of London.
I was also a member of the Dance Panel and the Drama Panel of the Greater London Arts
Association, the regional arts funding body. I was the founding director of an International
Festival of Theatre -in- Education. I was an executive committee member of the National
Association of Drama Advisors. I taught professional actors at the Equity Actor s Centre in
London.
After moving to Los Angeles I worked in the film industry as a Development Executive and then
as a freelance screenwriter. I also directed theatre on a freelance basis.
Since moving to Chapel Hill I have worked at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro both as a paid artist
and a volunteer. Currently I have a play in production which is paid work and I am the director of
their Variety Night season which I am taking no pay for.
I have also performed with Little Green Pig Theatrical concern.

Community Activities /Organizational Memberships:

NC MH system divestiture).
Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
This would be my first.
Boards /Commissions applied for:
Arts Commission
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As an amateur musician, I believe I have insights that would be of benefit to the Arts
Commission. While I have little talent for visual arts myself, I do greatly appreciate and support
it s value and contributions to, as Barry Jacobs notes, what makes Orange County special. The
fact that my daughter received a full scholarship for Art School at VCU may suggest the same
even in my own home.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I would like to be more involved in my community and recognizing my passion for the arts, and
the musical arts in particular, and even technical skills with respect to staging and several years
of project management, after seeing the vacancies on the Arts Commission and the fact that
regular meetings would fit easily with my work schedule, I was compelled to apply!
