While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Sheridan College Assistant Professor of Photography & Printmaking and Whitney Center for the Arts Gallery Director Brittney Denham Whisonant, told listeners that Stone-Collins has created something that must be seen with their own eyes.

She has been a resident artist at KMAC (Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft) based out of Louisville, Kentucky, and the David and Julia White Artist Colony in Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica. She was also a finalist for the Jean-Claude Reynal Scholarship among other honors and awards. Currently, she is a faculty member at Georgia Gwinnett College in Metro Atlanta.
