Co-owner T Clifton Art and Broad Avenue Cheerleader
Favorite Memphis “Thang”: Its soul. Best Biking/Walking Spot: Overton Park or the Riverfront. Your Most Annoying Habit: Hijacking other people’s sentences. Your Favorite Song: During Grizzlies season, it’s “All I Do is Win” by DJ Khaled. Your Lucky Charm: Positive attitude and my best friend and business partner. Most Memorable Bicycle You’ve Owned: Schwinn Banana Seat early 1970s model. Best Memphis Hangout: Screened porch during spring or fall, visiting with friends. Best Spot to Hear Great Music: Lindenwood Christian Church’s special music events are transformative. Your Favorite Piece Hanging in the Gallery Right Now: That’s like asking parents to choose which child they love most. Hometown: Born in San Francisco. Grew up in Huntingdon, Tennessee, but Memphis has been home for more than 30 years. The Highlight of Your Day: Seeing our fellow Broad Avenue business owners opening shop each day. It feels like a true neighborhood main street. An Optimal Day on Broad Ave. Includes: Busy day with clients at the gallery, followed by an evening of “Dance on Broad” at the Water Tower Pavilion. One Goal You’d Still Like to Accomplish: Helping Broad Avenue develop its bridge for sustainability as well as further reconnecting with the greater Binghampton neighborhood. A Nonliving Celebrity/Role Model You Would Invite to Dinner: Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. King is an amazing example of a leader with a timeless message. Each of us can make a difference if we seek win/win situations by thinking beyond ourselves. Proudest Moment of Your Life: Last year when members of President Obama’s Cabinet visited Broad Avenue and our gallery. When the Administrator of the EPA nuzzled on Argus (our 160 pound Saint Bernard), I thought that might be as good as a professional life gets.
