Experience
Experience working with Scottish artists Nichol Wheatley and Alasdair Gray on murals and their general upkeep in Òran Mór in Glasgow, Scotland. Also helped work on a privately commissioned mosaic with Nichol Wheatley for a client of his. I spent the spring and summer of 2015 working as an Arts Assistant at Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park outside Edinburgh, Scotland. My duties were to invigilate on the vast collection of the sculpture park, general maintenance, customer services and lending a hand in the install and deinstall of exhibiting artist’s work. One such example of this was during the summer season at the sculpture park when I assisted American artist Tara Donovan with her art installations.
