ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Since 2001 I have been involved in visual arts coordination and exhibition in a variety of ways. From December 2001 to June 2002 I worked as co-director of the rather infamous Art System gallery in Toronto, curating and co-curating several exhibitions and events. Since moving to Montreal in 2002 I have been involved with articule, one of the oldest artist run centres in Canada. For several years I was employed at Toronto's legendary Cameron House tavern. From 2008 to 2015 I worked as a custom picture framer. From 2003 to 2017 I have exhibited at Montreal's annual small press fair, ExpoZine. I currently work as an art handler and installer/gallery technician. Basically, since leaving high school, I have managed to keep my work life almost entirely within the visual arts milieu.
