My journey as an artist began at a very young age growing up in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. My mother taught me to draw birds with stick feet. I enjoyed drawing so much that a few years later, and with lots of practice, I was able to make the stick feet look real! After high school, I headed to nearby Maryville College to study fine art. I then attended Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville studying commercial graphic design.
Designs by Pinkie was born in 2005 along with my son Nathan. After working full-time for years for local marketing firms, I decided to stay at home with my son and start a career as a freelance graphic artist.
I’m passionate about creating new designs every day. I’m thankful to be able to use my talents and experience to help others grow their own businesses.
