Employment History

•  At the Dublin Arts Council I wear a great number of hats.

These are just a small selection of the different services I provide on a daily bases all combining to the result that I can, quite literally, do whatever is required of me at a moment's notice, from detailed design work to rigorous physical labor to teaching a 6 year old how to draw her first self portrait.
