As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore the intersection of art and spirituality, examining the multidimensional nature of our existence. My multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, painting, writing, sculpture, and textiles, focusing on their activation in space through relational aesthetics. With a research-creation-based approach, I investigate themes of life, death, and creative intellect, delving into the mystical and meditative experiences that have profoundly shifted my perception of reality. I reflect on these experiences, channelling their meaning and vision, inviting others to find a sense of peace, wonder and joy through engagement with my work.

My creative process transcribes my dream states, shamanic experiences, and kaleidoscopic visions, bringing thought into form and embodying transcendental reality into tangible and tactile explorations. By translating my visions into immersive landscapes, I offer a framework for exploring multidimensional existence, providing space for introspection.

Central to my practice is the transcribing of 'light language’—an intuitive, symbol-based form of communication which illuminates the soul’s inner dimensions. Entering a flow state, I navigate an expansive realm of violet ray light, seen through my mind’s eye. Here, visions form, and knowledge is revealed, guiding my exploration into the fabric of our existence.

My art therefore communicates a deeper understanding of the intricate balance between human experience and our multidimensional nature. Through ritualistic living, I move fluidly between states of wakefulness and dreaming, forming visual works intended to reflect the journey of self-discovery.

After a series of life-altering near-death experiences I discovered methods for examining the 'Crystalline Structures' of our consciousness. By documenting my visionary experiences and inner dialogues with spirit through practices such as ‘Daily Drawings’ a sense of play has been unlocked from within. In 2026, I began a new series, ‘The Life of a Flower’ after a span of 10 years examining the space between my black and white line work. As I continue to uncover what lays within, I am integrating knowledge gained and insights received by dedicating the next chapter of my life to ‘Living With Colour’.

While I began my career in 2008, working in event and exhibit design, I began slowly emerging as an artist in 2019 when I presented my first public art exhibition, 'Crystalline Structures,' at the Art Gallery of Ontario. In 2023, I completed my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine Arts, Brock University and my work has been showcased in the Pelham Art Festival (2025, 2026), Artist Project (2024), and as a finalist in Art Comp (2022). Recognitions include the Martha Zandvliet Memorial Award in Painting (2024), the Marilyn I. Walker Textile Art Award (2024), and the Medland and Green Inspiring Artists Bursary (2023).
