Career Objective:artist, curator, art educator, art historian, art administrator, and art critic.

As an artist I have worked in several different mediums: Painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and mixed media. I have also studied artist material. I have fourteen years of experience exhibiting and curating my art and other artist. I have also compiled art catalogs, wrote the introductions, sent out the press releases, and created national exposure for artist by creating corresponding blogs and websites. I have taught art workshops in a museum and for the Wanda Wallace Foundation. I also explained the history behind the art technique and the artist. I am taking the last class to complete a certification in gallery management. I also have business experience, and I have a small business. I have written art reviews and I have been published in an award winning news magazine which gave greater exposure to local and international artist.
