Is there an artwork/song/written piece you are most proud of? Why?

My MFA thesis exhibition at York University was a labour of love throughout the pandemic. I am proud to have been able to complete my masters covering a difficult topic that is close to my heart.

What inspires you?

Current feminist writing (Lindy West, Roxanne Gay), forgotten female artists (Emma Kuntz, Hilda Af Klint, Howardena Pindell,) and colour.

What is your most important artist tool?

Exacto knife, and painters tape.

is there something you can't live without in your studio?

My art journals, collating materials, and paint.

is there an element of art you enjoy working with most? why?

I love texture and abstracted forms. It is important to build up layers of textures to give a piece of work depth.

how did you start making art/music/writing?

I started in high school, with the influence of my parents. My father was an art teacher and my mother, an artist.

do you have any artistic projects coming up?

I have a solo show coming up at Duluth Art Institute, I will also be attending Toronto Outdoor Art Market this summer.
