Artist/Educator

BFA, RECE, OCELT

I am an Artist and an Educator with experience in community-based visual arts programming, early childhood education,  and adult ESL instruction. As a Visual Arts Instructor, I bring a creative, hands-on approach to learning, supporting students through visual, experiential,
and inclusive teaching practices that encourage exploration, skill development, and artistic growth.

Artist Statement

I have always been drawn to the work of traditional portrait artists like Sargent and Zorn, captivated by their ability to go beyond likeness to capture the spirit of a subject. I approach my own drawing process with the knowledge that this level of depiction begins with skilled draftsmanship — that which must be nurtured daily.

Author/Illustrator

Six Owls and A Party (2015) is a self-published children's picture book that celebrates the ancient art of mosaics while giving a style called Picassiette a fresh and contemporary spin. It tells a simple tale of Six Owls and one party. With it, I've visited many diverse schools in and around the Greater Toronto Area, with an author reading and mosaic workshop called The Magic of Mosaics, happily celebrating literacy through art.​​​​
