Shawana Brooks, Founder and Executive Director, Moving the Margins: Artist in Residence Program

Are you ready to meet the most passionate woman in Jacksonville that talks and walks all things art? Then meet the very feisty, the very original, Shawana Brooks who is proudly nicknamed a "muisance".
A California native, Shawana studied sociology and psychology before she fell into the art world. "I get really excited bringing ideas to fruition. I love thinking about something and then bringing that idea to life. It's hard to select a favorite artists because I have respect for so many - my dream would be to own my own building to run an arts organization or gallery."
