“Born and raised in southern Ontario, my love for the ocean and art brought me to the West Coast. In 2010, I completed my MFA at the University of British Columbia and I have been living and working as an artist in Vancouver, B.C. ever since. Cross-disciplinary in scope, my artwork explores human relationships and how we understand ourselves within the framework of institutions—particularly those that structure childhood experiences. A combination of social history, popular fiction, children’s literature and psychoanalytic theory inform my work as I navigate concerns around memory, longing and attachment.”
