      Dec 2007 - Apr 2023
      Art Director

      I re-envisioned everything from the ground up to provide a better experience for the members. I created an art store and held tabling events promoting members’ original work and created an original product line (i.e. Greeting Cards, Reproductions, etc) to help support member artists as well as for the program. I also curated many local shows to spread the word about the Wellness Center and mental health awareness. I was responsible for operating the art program within budgetary constraints while seeking additional funds through community outreach and donations. For many years, I organized and managed the volunteer program as well. I created a cohesive guideline process, held appreciation events, and reached out to the Volunteer Center to establish Community Service Work for the members. I received a Certificate of Recognition from the California State Legislature in 2010, and the art program was presented as a successful program at the state level by The Sonoma County Mental Health Department in 2015.
