Toronto based visual artist exploring movement and connection through painting and clay. After completing my BFA I began leading art and nature based programs at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. For the past ten years my studio practice has slowly developed alongside this community centered work; ultimately informing and enriching each other in reciprocal ways.
