Summary

Originally from the Dubuque area, went to college in Cedar Rapids at Kirkwood where I graduated with an Associates Degree in Fine Arts. Been actively searching for a job more specific towards my degree and started my own art business called Haley's Creations where I sell my own artwork at the Dubuque Farmer's Market and the Arboretum. Although I've had great success with it, I still would like to have a full time job where I can transition into the Arts field.
