  I communicate with art collectors, art enthusiasts, and costumers’ daily. It is important that I am knowledgeable of the materials so I can educate the costumers and assist with a creative eye. I listen closely so I can best guide the consumer to the item they desire. Not only do I cash the costumers out, I provide them with highly decorative gift-wrapping. I am also responsible for replenishing stock and assisting with displays. I communicate with art collectors, art enthusiasts, and costumers’ daily.
