" Regardless of the genre, medium or context, I create work for the purpose of invoking emotion. I find excitement and passion within the relation of colour, contrast between light and dark and the structure of marks and impressions within the medium."

As a young child I experienced colours, smells and textures associated with the artists’ studio. This artist – my grandmother, taught me the fundamental principals of art and design while encouraging me to experiment and have fun.
Formal education came later - that was a confusing time as I had many opportunities, although I knew I was going to be doing something visual. And as it happens – I almost studied photography rather than design but I did choose Graphic Design – at Niagara College where I received a Diploma in graphic design and, inadvertently a Diploma for General Arts and Science – “this happened as I not only studied graphic design while there but I enrolled in additional classes of interest such as Parapsychology”.
I then turned my focus to the fine Arts so I moved to Halifax where I received my B.F.A. in Fine Art from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
With this academic foundation I provided services as a freelance artist / graphic designer while also providing private lessons and teaching at the Bedford Elementary Academy.
Since then I've moved back to central Ontario where I grew up and now hold position of Art Director/Graphic Designer.
