She has worked in the artistic field all of her life, beginning as a layout artist on Music Row in Nashville to becoming Art Director for one of the largest hospitals in the U.S. at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, AZ. She made the switch to fine art in 1988, working as a gallery assistant, manager, and finally Gallery Director for art galleries in Tennessee. While working in galleries by day, McBride studied drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture at night at the University of Tennessee. Highlights of her career include exhibiting at the international Sculptural Objects and Functional Art Show (SOFA) on the Navy Pier in Chicago, IL; installing a four-piece permanent mixed media painting in the Convention Center for the City of Knoxville; and being featured on the national television show “Country Style” for the Home & Garden Network. She has been exhibited in galleries in Maine, Baltimore, California, Tennessee, Philadelphia (PA), Dallas & Austin (TX), Ann Arbor (MI), Madison (WI,) New Orleans (LA), Miami (FL), and Chicago (IL). Currently, McBride is producing figurative sculpture in clay, bronze, and aluminum, as well as continuing to paint and experiment with mixed media environments.
