After representing artist Randall M. Good at the former Blue Moon Gallery for more than a decade, their partnership grew in two key ways. First, as business partner at Good Studios, Dishongh uses her skills to expand Good’s vision. Second, as Developmental Editor for Good’s book project, The Shael Ovalis, she blends her understanding of his creative goals to help complete his complex work that combines art and story telling.

Dishongh’s lifelong work in fine arts, theater, and business began in Venice, Florida. She earned a BFA in Theatre from Birmingham Southern College. For more than 15 years she worked as a Scenic Artist in New York City for Broadway, film, and TV, as a USA829 member. There, she also co-owned The Studio School of Stage Design, a professional training school for designers and artists in the entertainment industry.

In 1997, she joined her mother, Patricia Scavo, to open Blue Moon Gallery in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The gallery showcased local artists and became a top regional gallery for 17 years, helping Dishongh build her art and business experience.

Now living in Hawaii with her husband Stafford Barte, she appreciates tools like Zoom to stay connected.
