| I am a Vancouver-based painter. I started my formal studies at Simon Fraser University where I earned a Bachelor of Education. I taught English and the Humanities for over ten years, travelled extensively and lived abroad. Along the way I studied design, drawing, experiential art and painting at Sheridan College and Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Because of these experiences, 4 years ago, I launched myself head-long into my new life as visual artist. For the past 5 years, I have served on art boards, curated exhibitions and found many opportunities to support art education through residencies, event organization, fundraising and artwork donations. My work can be found in European,
