Artist & Visual Arts Educator

Momentum, my most recent mixed media sculptural installation, was displayed at the Small Arms Inspection Building December 5-14, 2025 as part of the 2025 Mississauga Festival of Trees. 

I am honoured to be a 2025 Marty finalist and recipient of both a 2023 and 2024  Spring M.A.C.  Matchmaker MicroGrant.  These funds have allowed me to create interactive indoor and outdoor public art experiences. 

I am honored to have been selected as one of the Olive Stack Gallery Artists in Residence for the year 2026.  I will have the opportunity to spend one month in Listowel, Co. Kerry Ireland,  creating art in studio as I take in the local culture. 

I teach a variety of two and three dimensional media.   My portfolio includes murals,  mixed media art installations and smaller works on paper and canvas . I am very aware  of how the selected media and methods  impact the function of my artwork.  In this way, my media choices are dictated by the perceptual effects I wish to achieve. 

Some of the awards I have received include a Mississauga Matchmaker Microgrant (2023 & 2024), first place  in the Beauty of Bees Art Exhibition, Mississauga Arts Council (2022), Stonehooker Brewery beer label contest (2020), and Award of Excellence (2014) and Distinction (2012 , 2016, 2019) from Peel District School Board.

I find boundless inspiration in nature and cultural symbolism.  Nature’s beauty and ethnobotanical meaning inform my artwork's  themes and subjects.   My art explores how humanity seeks its own reflection in all parts of the natural world while the ephemeral quality of flora and fauna inspires me to give it permanence in my art.
