She creates with the urge to experiment with different materials. From shoe laces to spoons and forks, she can create wonderful artwork with the most unusual tools.

What inspires your art?

The paintings I’ve chosen for this exhibit are all very contrasting thoughts, and for the most part are created very differently. Each piece is a part of a new exploration in materials and colours I’ve experimented with. As an artist, I work to develop pieces that can be looked at from multiple perspectives or in different lighting and will change based on your view, leaving you to find more beauty time and time again.

How did you start out as an artist?

I am an Ottawa born artist who moved to Toronto in 2015 to attend The School of Toronto Dance Theatre. Growing up as a person who really enjoyed creating things of all sorts, working with my hands and movement is what always motivated and pushed me. Upon graduating, I found myself pursuing visual arts more each day.

What medium and technique do you use?

I try to explore the infinite ways to create a bold and unusual surface to build depth. Trying to stay away from using typical tools like paint brushes, some of my most reliable supplies to work with have been pallet knives, kitchen utensils, napkins and toilet paper. Other ways I like to create are any type of fluid or pour techniques with a gloss varnish, as well as creating a sort of puzzle-like effect using multiple canvases.

Do you use bold colours for a specific reason?

I love to work with bright colours and bold textures because I find the most interesting things in life are the ones that catch your eye. And shine, sparkles, neons, and contrast do exactly that!
