       HONOURS, ACHIEVEMENTS and EVENTS:

       1987   Was one of six sculptors to participate in a workshop held at the Iqaluit
                   Jewelry Centre August 3 to 7th.  Under the instruction of Geroge Pratt, a
                   well-known British Columbia artist, the group experimented with different
                   types of stone, such lapis lazuli and marble; they also experimented with
                   tools that are appropriate for carving these harder types of stone.
