BIO
I was born in New Brunswick, Canada and studied craft at NBCCD before moving to Toronto to study printmaking and painting at the OCAD-University where I received a BFA in 2010. I am in love with the process of making and would consider myself to be an artists unbound by medium. I am currently creating sculptures and installations using glass, clay, bronze, aluminum, wax and neon lighting.
My artwork has a visual language that has been intensely shaped and influenced by my east-coast heritage as well as urban and rural landscapes. The work often reflects things within the landscape that may fade, crumble, collapse or burn away. I search for these beautiful qualities because they remind me of the fragility of life.
