Brooke YAndle
I was raised in Tennessee where I received my BFA at Middle Tennessee State University. I worked as a freelance graphic designer and as a supervisor for the Frist art museum in Nashville. In 2020, I moved to Illinois to attend graduate school at Southern Illinois University. While there I worked with Antonio Martinez, a professor and artist, who taught me how to paint murals and find work as a creative.
I received my Master of Fine Arts in 2023 and began teaching graphic design at a community college nearby. I received a grant from the city of Carbondale to produce a mural and decided to officially pursue an art and design business.
