Governor Mike Beebe and the Arkansas Arts Council will present the Award to Rankine at a ceremony and luncheon at noon, Tuesday, Oct. 18, in the Grand Ballroom at The Peabody in Little Rock.


Sponsored by the Arts Council, the Individual Artist Fellowships are awarded annually to artists in Arkansas in recognition of their individual artistic abilities. The fellowships award artists $4000.00 and enable artists to set aside time for creating their art and improving their skills. Three artistic disciplines are selected each year as categories for the awards. The recipients were selected by a jury of out-of-state professional artists, writers, performers and art administrators.

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
