We are both artists and work hard for creativity in the world. I fell for Jones before he even knew. We were dance company colleagues and friends—but I was quietly in love. In dance class, I’d always choose him as a partner. One day, during a normal work session, it was as if a lightbulb went off in Jones’ head, he looked up from his laptop and simply asked, “So, how are you?” From that moment, everything changed. We’ve been inseparable—partners in art, love, business, and life.

There are too many to choose just one memory. From being America’s Got Talent finalists, to performing in China with Cirque du Soleil together. Breakfast at a German castle after getting engaged, we found out we were pregnant on Christmas Eve—every moment unforgettable. But it’s also the little things: nightly walks with our cats, singing in the car, laughing at silliness. Jones is my best friend, we our soul mates. That love shows up in everything we do.

With $20,000, we’d grow, Art & Action, our collaborative program that mentors young artists to create change through their impact-driven art projects. So far, we’ve raised awareness and funds for programs that help veterans, children with spinal tuberculosis, and nature conservation—and more! Now we want to nurture the next wave of change-makers. The ones who dare to imagine and build a more compassionate world. We believe when art and action unite, real change happens.
