Summary

I have worked in many areas of art and design as an artist, designer, art director and prior educator. With over 35 years experience in the arts field. I have been an art advisor for the Canada Arts Council in Ontario to choose from many grant applications for arts funding needed.
I founded Global ArtXchanges, with the purpose of sending proper art materials to needy youth, who cannot get basic supplies due to many reasons.
