Do you have a passion for the arts and love supporting creative people? Are you personable, self-motivated, detail-oriented person who is experienced with Microsoft Word, Wordpress and social media posting? Are you someone who is self-motivated and loves researching online and enjoys figuring things out for yourself?
I am a visual artist making work inspired by meditation and nature to uplift others.
I also have a YouTube channel where I talk about the inner life of the creative person and make painting tutorials.
I’d need someone who has basic Photoshop skills and can write well. Would love someone who believes in the work we are doing and will bring creative ideas and input to better serve our community.
I’m happy to train the right candidate but you need to enjoy researching and figuring programs and processes on your own and be a quick study with new platforms. This job has room to grow and shine and make an impact in the lives of others. If you an enthusiastic person who is looking for more than just a “job,” read on.
