In 2020, I was selected one of the five emerging artist for the BC Culture Days ambassadorship grant program. The mandate is to support BC artists in marketing and public engagement to their art practice through workshop, artist talk, and exhibition/performance. Due to covid-19 pandemic restriction, the program extended from one weekend to one month of September 25 to October 25. I was able to setup: 1 live artist demonstration, 1 live stream and in person demonstration, a 2 day in person workshop, and a gallery opening event.

Part of the BC Culture Days grant is to match me with a mentor with similar art practice. I was able to work with my friend Brigitte Potter-Mael, who is a veteran printmaker of 40 years plus career in Canada, Europe and abroad. We had several sessions on wood relief printmaking and paper making techniques.
