2. ‣In 2004, I served as Arts Commissioner for the City of Encinitas. 

3. ‣In 2005 I founded the Open Door Wellness Center and Art Gallery where individuals could come to realize their innate potential to create, in each moment, new experiences of joy, love, and self-appreciation.

4. ‣In 2009, I donated one of my ‘Star’ pieces to the Children of the City Benefit Gala in New York, where I garnered attention from Gwyneth Paltrow. 

5. ‣Recently, I have participated in ‘performance art’, where I painted clothing designs live at fashion shows for the benefit “Rock to Stop Violence” & “Media Mix Massacre”.
