June’s talent was evident at a young age. She would often seclude herself in her room for hours sketching, drawing and painting. As June matured, her artistry became well-rounded which eventually expanded into sculpting, painting and basket weaving. June honed in on her craft at Spelman College and New York University where she earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree, respectively. Her work has received many accolades and has been featured in galleries; local and national publications; and institutions of higher learning. June was vibrant like the sun and full of life. This zeal for life and the arts was perhaps most evident as she nurtured developing artists in secondary and post-secondary educational settings. June was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 25 and with sheer determination was successful in forging a successful career in the arts. Debilitating health complications ultimately hastened her retirement and eventually her death. My grandmother passed away when I was six months old. I never had the opportunity to experience her for myself. I share her middle name which makes me feel inextricably connected to her in such a meaningful way. June Publishing is a tribute to my grandmother’s tenacity, grace and beauty. Every work of art produced at June Publishing will be produced in the spirit of excellence to further the human experience. In loving tribute to generational possibilities – June Publishing”
