ARTIST BIO

I am at a stage in my life where the drive to working with objects and art within a gallery or museum is at its peak. To share, educate and inspire others within an institute dedicated to the preservation, exhibition and shared love of art would be a humbling but significant experience in my art career.

In tandem with studying and practicing art I have found working in Community Pharmacy and and retail has allowed for me to develop high level attributes such as customer service, product knowledge and leadership building strong ties with the community and with staff.
