As a perpetual student of the arts I am interested in forwarding creative efforts in the town in which I live. As a relatively new citizen of Missoula (2009) and neighbor to the Missoula Memorial Rose Garden/Park, I am interested in preserving our local art spaces as well as discovering and developing the new. I believe a fresh eye is often helpful, especially when combined with the knowledge and experience of current, seasoned delegates.
Do you have any special knowledge, interest, or experience that would qualify you for a position on this board, commission, or committee?*
My backgrounds in photography, garden design and various board memberships give me a rounded perspective. I have waited for a meaningful board position to become available and this one seems to me to be a good fit for all. I would welcome this opportunity to serve.
