Christina Muñoz, lead singer

Christina Muñoz is a familiar face and voice across Arkansas—both as a longtime broadcast journalist for KATV Channel 7 and now as Communications Director for Wildwood Park for the Arts. She started singing and dancing at the age of 4 and now does choreography for local theatres including Wildwood. She teaches several dance classes at Red Curtain Theatre in Conway and she is the Drama Director at Conway Christian School. A classically trained violinist, Christina taught herself guitar when she was 15 so that she could sing in an acoustic band that sang mostly folk/rock music. Before moving to Arkansas in 2003, Christina performed professionally in the Minneapolis area for three years including 302 performances of “Can Can!” at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. Christina's dynamic blend of artistry, communication, and community leadership makes her an inspiring part of Wildwood’s creative family, where she uses her voice to uplift other artists in the community.

Performer Showcase: Matthew Stone & Alexandra Rose Ong

Wildwood is also delighted to showcase two additional outstanding instrumentalists at this year's Toast & Taste. Guitarist Matt Stone will perform exclusively for guests in the VIP Experience Pavilion (sponsored by the Mitchell Williams Law Firm), while harpist Alexandra Rose Ong will perform for guests in our theater's north lobby.

Featured Visual Artist: Tracy Rivers

For the first time this year, Toast & Taste is also showcasing visual arts in addition to live music. We're pleased to introduce Tracy Rivers, who will be exhibiting and selling some of her artwork at the event.

​

Tracy Rivers is an abstract and 3D sculpture artist whose bold creativity has made her a leading artistic voice across the South. A graduate of the University of Central Arkansas with a focus in design and 3D art, she founded Angelfish Studios in 2001 and later co-founded AF Decorative with her husband, Brazilian artist Jean Da Silva. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Country French, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and she continues to inspire fellow artists to experiment, take risks, and create fearlessly.

About Tracy Rivers Artistry

"My art is a conversation — between texture and light, chaos and harmony, nature and soul. I work with gold leaf, shattered glass, resin, and raw Arkansas quartz to create pieces that feel both powerful and ethereal. My signature moonflowers bloom across canvases like nocturnal prayers — elegant, quiet, and luminous in their strength.

​

Each creation is layered, sculptural, and full of meaning — born from a process that is both intuitive and technical. From gilded botanicals to glowing, gem-like surfaces, I merge organic forms with striking finishes to create work that resonates on a deeper level. These are pieces that shimmer with movement, hold stories in their cracks, and catch the light in unexpected ways.

 

Rooted in the South, my work is shaped by place — by rivers and rocks, by memory, by moonlight. Whether I’m building a custom commission or curating a collection, my goal is always the same:
To craft art that evokes emotion, elevates space, and reminds us of beauty’s raw, radiant power.

 

Because this isn’t just what I do.
This is who I am."
