Accomplishments

Over the past 10 year I have successfully travelled as an artist to 25 countries all over the world creating art getting commissioned from each place I’ve travelled to.


From 2010- 2014 I participated as an art mentor for a program in Vancouver called restart. A program designed to give young offenders who have been caught, and arrested from vandalizing to participate in a program that teaches and enables young artists to harness and flourish in their talents instead of having a criminal record. I taught youth to build their artistic abilities, teaching them technics that they can use for a lifetime.
