Being a graphic designer before having kids, and a “maker” my whole life, I love designing and building my own unique pallet signs and enjoy offering an edgier attitude than what many other sign makers offer.
I love being able to offer the LGBTQ community a colorful array of signs that help them express themselves in a unique, decorative way...something that can’t be found anywhere else!
My customers appreciate the time I take to give each piece the well-honed, vintage look and feel they’re looking for. I also never buy my designs; I only paint what I design myself so my customers can be assured they are purchasing Hot Shot Palletworks one-of-a-kind artwork.
This year, 10% of my sales from this show will be PROMPTLY donated to the LGBT Center.

Connections is all about building relationships - NOT religion.
Connections regularly meets from 7-8pm on the 4th Friday of the month at the LGBT Center of Raleigh, in person or virtually on Zoom, and sponsors other special events of interest from time to time.
