I’m a london based digital artist and illustrator.
__________________________
born in toronto. I was enrolled in visual arts schools and trained classically from the age of ten (baythorn elementary school of visual arts and unionville high school fine arts program). my early education focused on portaiture, life drawing and anatomy.
I moved to montreal, where i gained a bfa in drawing and painting from concordia university.
my early art practice focused on installation with a brief romance with performance art and videography.
i was part of an art collective comprised of three female artists. we called ourselves “hivemind”. we created large scale “drawlptures” using cut paper, ink, oil pastels, collage, stamp and printing techniques which we exhibited in local galleries (VAV Gallery, Yellowfish gallery, mouse print gallery and art matters exhibition).
after university, i explored careers in the eco textile and fashion industries learning about eco-conscientious fabric, manufacturing and the production of garments.
meanwhile, i started a hospitality business which two business partners called “rise & root”. we renovated each of our rental properties ourselves using dyi methods.
this passion for decor and interiors lead to me becoming a certified interior designer through the new york institute of art and design.
after relocationg to the uk in 2019, i started designing bespoke german kitchens in west hampstead. i opened a high end concept showroom and held the position of #1 designer out of 465 designers within three countries.
i left to rediscover my creative voice, focus on mental wellness, pursue happiness, and travel. in the past year, i have travelled to eleven countries, started therapy and have experimented with my artistic style resulting in my current portfolio. i’m still growing, sharing my process and determined to create a living from making art.
