I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, but in 2021, I made the decision to fully embrace my identity as an artist. Since then, I've dedicated myself to honing my craft with greater intention and focus. I’m excited to keep creating throughout my life and to explore new forms of expression, including installation and performance art. Below are a few samples of my work, which range from figurative to more abstract pieces. I love playing with patterns and colors and am always eager to experiment with new mediums and materials.
Queen West Art Crawl 2021
Acid Cotton Candy Series
This collection of fourteen mixed media paintings was made to show during the Queen West Art Crawl, in the summer of 2021.
​
The paintings are a form of embodied of meditation for the purposes of reflection and self healing. Each piece took anywhere from four to six hours of work. Art is one of the ways I integrate therapeutic psychedelic experiences and how I actively make sense of life. During the time spent painting and being creative, nuggets of truth came to me as phrases and imagery. These bits of wisdom kept me going through the 2nd pandemic year. The phrases made their way to the descriptions of the paintings and in the designs of the tees.
The name of the collection comes from the colours and the curvy outlines; as each piece ends up looking like a cloud of psychedelic cotton candy.

be in this moment - it's ok to evolve and grow- befriend your shadow- you are not your thoughts- don't believe every thought- create your own reality- you are not your body- all you have is now- love every part of you- love yourself more- connect to this moment- connect with yourself- - you are all you need -you are complete-
