Affiliations
- In my spare time I enjoy photography, all things nature and animals but my passion is art. I take pride in a recent project I completed for the City of Bedford where I was chosen to demonstrate my creative abilities. I got the opportunity to design and paint an art box that is now displayed at the City of Bedford Community Garden. The purpose of the art box is to allow anyone the chance to create their own art and leave it inside as a donation.
