What I look for in An Opportunity
Expand my professional Career
I am looking for any opportunities that will further my career.  I also look for organizations, cities, or community groups that will want to collaborated and put their trust in me for any large or small scale art-related projects. 

Work with the Community
I enjoy working with different groups of people and have found the best work occurs when I can connect to a community and create something that is inspired from their input and location.
 
Imagine, Dream, Create, Display
I enjoy working within any and all four of these categories and am available to be of service in these areas as well.
