Biography

Encouraged by friends and family, I started painting at a young age. I made smaller commissioned work for businesses and organizations that were familiar with my enthusiasm before I ever knew I wanted to be an artist. I had many successful years of painting murals for Take Pride Winnipeg while at the same time gaining mentoring experience through those challenges. I became a coordinator at Graffiti Gallery soon after that, able to teach and guide students through art instruction and life lessons. I learned much about myself as a person and as an artist from those opportunities. I still work with at-risk, underprivileged youth, but my artistic vision is less altruistic and more intrinsic.

I would describe my art as thoughtful and precise. I am easily influenced by the Woodlands style of art, maintaining its narrative, sometimes derivative, yet contemporary quality. My hope is to continue learning and sharing, as long as both are purpose and motivation in my life.
