I am a multidisciplinary artist, with a focus on visual art. In my teens and 20s I was active creatively as a musician, touring across North America and playing locally. During this time I got my feet wet with visual art, doing graphic design work for bands and small businesses. I went to ACAD with the intention to pursue a design degree, but became obsessed with creating with charcoal and paint. I majored in drawing at ACAD and then went to work at a commercial sign company. I would eventually leave sign making to pursue my art practice full time. Since making this decision a couple years ago, I have been busy with markets and group shows, as well as 6 solo show opportunities. A highlight for me, was a solo show I put together called “Crowded Spirit” where I presented new work at Calgary’s CSpace. This year I have been making new work, and doing research for a conceptual piece as well as training as a peer support worker with the Canadian Mental Health Association.
