What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated artist and educator based in Toronto, Canada, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Honors from Queen's University. My artistic journey has been enriched through various exhibitions, including notable shows at the Holy Art Gallery in London and Athens, and local galleries in Ontario. I thrive on sharing my passion for sculpture with others, teaching children and adults alike at the Kingston School of Art.
Currently, I work as a Sales and Gallery Assistant at Liss Gallery, where I facilitate sales and curate events for renowned artists. My role involves meticulous organization and management of gallery events, ensuring that each experience is memorable for both artists and attendees.
