Artist Statement

I am a student artist attending Humber College after receiving my business degree from Nipissing University. I worked for several years in the steel fabrication industry and later found my place creating art demonstrations for an art supply company. I spent many years creating handcrafted homeware pieces as a self-taught artist. I decided to come to Humber College to try and take my work to the next level, moving from handicrafts into fine art. 

I enjoy exploring artwork in different mediums. I find it important to ask myself, “What does this material do? And, what is unique about it?” The answers to these questions invariably influence my choice of subject. 

My hope for the future is to just keep creating and sharing. I believe I am on the first steps of a lifelong journey—happily, with no destination in sight.
