AS AN ARTIST

My mission is to always tell stories that transport you, make imagery that you can’t help but feel; little reminders of our beautiful and complicated existence. I am both light and dark, quirky and solemn, and I refuse to pick a side.

AS A MENTOR

I want to support you to trust in the artist you already are. My passion for education was born out of years of imposter syndrome, self doubt and existential turmoil. I get it; the deep frustration, the restless feeling of misalignment, the work you know you can create but you’re just not there yet. I’m here to help you through it in any way you need.

Kind words

There is no one I could trust more to create authentic, honest portraiture… she is a master of unobtrusive observance that somehow pierces right into the very fibre of your being.

Art is a beautiful thing even in its perceived failure

Oftentimes, we have to wade through the mud to get to the gold. And that messy, muddy middle is art in itself.

This is an inclusive, anti-racist space. I will never refuse to work with anyone due to their background, race,  gender or sexual orientation.
