WELCOME
As an artist, I explore contemporary femininity and its complexities through visual culture, examining how history shapes our perceptions. I use scale, texture, and symbolism to challenge traditional narratives.
As a visual arts teacher, I have experience with the Alberta Program of Studies and the IB MYP and DP Visual Arts curricula. I aim to develop resources that promote deep learning and engagement with art. These resources are open-ended and encourage individual creativity.
Here you will find engaging teaching materials, follow my creative progression through my work and learn about my latest academic projects.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Explore my artwork:
Sirens
The Sirens series explores defiance and humour through the middle-finger gesture, presenting strong, confident women who rebel against the expectations of femininity.
This One Time
The This One Time project explores the constant vigilance women carry against threat, using the everyday act of gripping keys as improvised weapons to reveal how fear, caution, and survival shape ordinary moments.
Protest Quilts
My quilts celebrate the art of quilting as a powerful medium, honouring textile artists and an art form layered with expression and community. Each quilt asserts a bold statement of warmth and solidarity.
Walking With Keys
My giant soft-sculpture keys are activated through performance, exploring safety, autonomy, and protection through scale, humour, and materiality.
