I’m currently the CEO. Art has helped me understand and view issues from different perspectives. Details that are normally missed can change the whole meaning of a work, if viewed/understood from a slightly different perspective, such as the colour of a subject’s clothing or type of clothing. It’s sometimes the small things that lead to deeper understanding and appreciation of a work. At work, being more conscious of perspective has lead to more creative and effective solutions.

I’m interested in hearing other perspectives on art and culture. I would like to learn more about how society expresses their values, concerns, frustrations, conclusions and solutions through different mediums.
