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.
