Website Purpose

The purpose of this website is for clients, schools, galleries, friends and the like to be able to see my work and know what other projects I am working on.

Art Club

While attending Concordia University I have been very involved with the art department.  I have been the art club president for the past 2 years and during my presidency I have organized many activities including trips off campus (galleries, openings, museums, parties), workshops (leather), a trip to Chicago, collaborations with other clubs (Haunitorium, Knollapolloza), bringing other artists on campus, art sales (Christmas, Knollapolloza), art club sponsored art show, and fundraisers (rose sale).

I have also participated in shows throughout my years in college.

Website Plan

Plan:

After graduation I was to see as much of the world as I can by either having a job involving travel, or working to pay for my own trips. I also want to continue with art- particularly community and public art.  I would eventually like to go to grad school, but that will be a ways down the road.

Audience:

My website will be for anyone who is interested in seeing my work- I will also use it as my own gallery for prospective shows and clients.
