​“Queen of Tomorrow”


In 2018, I was honored as one of 50 artists invited to exhibit at the I Segnalati Rome art event. Through my partnership with the Associazione Socio Culturale EA Arte Club of Italy, I was granted exclusive rights to reserve space in the beautiful Velli Palace Exhibition Hall in Rome, Italy, for a video presentation of my sponsored Texas artists who placed in my Houston Strong competition, which was in honor of the Houston art community affected by 2017 Hurricane Harvey.
