ART SHOW HISTORY
I have had several art shows in my life starting with student art shows while attending art school. My emphasis has always been on working in the industry and on commissions than showing my art but since February 2020 I shifted my focus toward showing in art galleries. In May 2019 I submitted a portfolio of my artwork to the MAC gallery in Mission, BC, and was offered a solo art exhibition.
