Description

Hi Folks. I have worked in Kids TV animation for many years and have decided it's time to get back to nature and to more physical activities that I get much less time to do when I'm staring at a computer screen ( even if that involves creating nice landscapes for cartoons...it's not the same ) . I love to paint and draw and my plan is to create art when I am not working for my host. My main interests are portraiture and outdoor landscape painting and I am confident WorkAway will assist me in finding plenty of opportunities for both. I am passionate about organic food and sustainable living and wish for more education and experience in this. I have worked on organic land both farming and minor construction and I am also very skilled in many areas of decoration including designing and making murals ( not so experienced in plastering and woodwork but a quick learner ) , I also love to write and play music and playing board games .
