Artist student and curator's assistant for all the museum's art work. I have been able to work long hours due to my passion for arts and it has resulted in learning a lot more than anyone can in such a limited time period. I have been trained to recognize art and my knowledge of the different kinds of art styles through the ages has made my work easier for me. I wish to work in an auction house where I can see art work being appreciated while I can also care for the art materials in the auction house custody, just as it should be taken care of.

Special Projects

Museum Shift

We shifted all the artwork from the second floor of the Metro Museum to the basement. This was done in order to preserve the art work and keep it in a cooler place away from the sun.

Art Exhibition

I represented the Museum of Art at the International Art Exhibition in Paris. It was a three day exhibition about Art Through The Ages. We transported five of our most exotic and historical art works and displayed them under different categories.
