Get to know me

I was born and raised in Northern Ontario. My upbringing had be surrounded by nature, but once I moved away I became fascinated by the beauty of individual differences. I started looking for clues to other peoples' stories from the way they carried themselves in the world through their fashion and other identifiers. I pursued an education in the arts, first with a BFA, then a Masters in Art History.

My creative practice usually consists of portraits that are meant to evoke personality through texture, colour, and light. These provide a glimpse into an imposed narrative frozen into a single frame. I work with both traditional and digital mediums, bridging the gap between "Real" and "unreal". My subjects are often surrounded by flowers, natural elements, animals: all of which furthering the mood of the piece. I approach topics of spiritual growth and meditation through my work. From that the viewer can see my hand and my own personality come through. I have a very illustrative style with bold colours and precise linework.
