Hello

As a feminist social impact professional in Wisconsin and Washington, DC, for over 20 years, I've long wondered, "How can more humans do more of the work that we deeply love?"

​

Now I'm ecstatic to find myself at a new intersection of the arts and economic development -- at a vacant schoolhouse in downtown Verona. I served on the City of Middleton’s Arts Committee for 8 years, which sparked my interest in local business partnerships and the creative economy.

​

I'm founding Slate BLUE Studios to provide affordable, messy co-working space for underrepresented artists, along with uncommon classes and community events. Slate BLUE Studios will support artists as creative entrepreneurs, offering artist retail and exhibition opportunities, and lowering overhead.

 ​

I can't wait to see artists create amazing works and glorious messes, provide a safe place for teens to engage in artistic expression, and offer the art classes that I haven't found elsewhere.

​

Coming to the future ART House 360 in 2024: More workspace for more artists. Untold stories from underrepresented artists. A spark for Dane County's creative economy. Greater wellbeing through creativity.

 

Win-win-win-win.
