About
I work from my home in Edmonton, AB, Canada and graduated from the Alberta University of the Arts in 2002 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree.
I'm currently represented by Galerie St.Laurent + Hill in Ottawa, Ont. My work has also been placed in the Alberta Foundation for the Arts permanent collection.
For over 8 years I taught as an educator for the Art Gallery of Alberta where I worked with school groups, facilitating gallery tours and studio projects. I continue to teach drawing and portrait drawing for adults as well at City Arts Centre and Metro Continuing Education in Edmonton.
