Rigdon grew up on the island of Cyprus during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Rigdon and her siblings would sneak into ancient archeological sites such as Tomb of the Kings in Paphos and rummage through abandoned monasteries and hotels, sometimes under their parent’s supervision. The island’s folk art, naturalism, and archeological relevance is reflected in Rigdon’s work through her depictions of ancient funerary goods.
Rigdon currently works at The Cedars Union as the Manager of Development, focusing on connecting the community with emerging artists in North Texas. She is a member of the female co-op TRADE Oak Cliff where she maintains her studio practice and occasionally runs community sewing projects.
Rigdon is represented by Goetze Art & Design in Memphis, Tennessee. Rigdon has received the DeGolyer Award from the Dallas Museum of Art, the Award of Excellence from the Laughlin-Beers Foundation and was the Fair Director’s Pick for the 2021 edition of The Other Art Fair, Dallas. She has exhibited her work at Galleri Urbane, Ro2 Art, MASS Gallery in Austin, and has participated in New York Jewelry Week with Jewelry Arts Inc.
