For over ten years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Nashville-based muralist Andee Rudloff on community-centered art projects that prioritize inclusivity, collaboration, and art as a tool for connection.
Idea Festival:
Together, we created the Idea Festival Collaboration Mural, a recurring interactive public artwork that brought together diverse community voices through shared visual expression.

Through these collaborations, I’ve learned that teaching doesn’t always take place inside four walls—sometimes it happens in the middle of a street, at a festival, or alongside a child who’s picking up a paintbrush for the first time.
