“I work in a variety of media; primarily printmaking, digital photography and mixed media/collage. I’ve exhibited extensively, most recently with group shows in New York, Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto. My work is part of private and public collections including Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Esso Petroleum Corporation, and the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library at the University of Alberta. My work is featured in publications such as INPHA3-Manifest Gallery 3rd International Photography Annual, PrairieSeen Notes (online), and Camera Obscura.

My work is conceptual and is based on exploring our interaction with everyday forms of visual communication. The printmaking and mixed media pieces draw elements from the packaging of commercial products (cereal boxes, cigarette packs, etc.). For the digital photography, I’ve developed a series titled “Flow of Traffic Theory” which examines road signs (in various conditions) and their imagery. The subjects in my works share a common trait in that they are familiar objects, and more specifically, I’m inspired by these familiar objects when their words and symbols have become affected by changes in context, distorted or obscured. This reflects on how established forms of our language, and communication in general, can be compromised for the sake of convenience or through neglect.”
