I received my BFA from Algoma University in 2011, surrounded by Sault Sainte Marie's landscape and an art family away from home. I try to see the good in everything, especially this beautiful planet and the diverse nature that inhabits it. I enjoy painting, taking photographs, and writing poetry. I think there is incredible importance in conservation and appreciating the flora, fauna, our bodies of water, and clean air. I believe that everything in nature has a heartbeat, whether physically felt or on a spiritual level, which is why I aim to have viewers gain a deeper connection with my artwork and what it stands for: nature, change, dreams, spirituality. In a nutshell I love the simple things in life - oh, and aromatic mugs of tea. Tea is delish.

Artist  Statement

---

I am inspired by Earth and all of the species of flora and fauna that integrate together to make our planet unique and beautiful. The need for public awareness toward human-animal interactions, wildlife conservation, climate change, and the dwindling numbers of endangered species is what I express within my acrylic paintings. Through vivid colour influenced by the Expressionists, I strive to depict the life-changing events that occur every day around the globe and the emotional impact atmospheric space can have on an individual. I aim to have my viewers rediscover the beauty of nature and our planet's wonder, and fight against the isolation between society and the environment.
