I’m a transdisciplinary artist engaged in social practice and community focused projects, interweaving my lived experiences with collective experiences in areas such as trauma, death, belonging, communication, and ideas of identity.
Collaborating with research as an artistic medium, I create interactive works with multi-sensorial mediums, approaching with an intersectional commitment to transparency, awareness, accountability, connection, and care.
I hold a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, with a minor in Social Practice and a focus in Intersectional Feminism, in addition to a Professional Photo-Imaging Diploma from Langara College.
Trained as a death doula, I facilitate conversations on death using a tool I created (DEATH CONVERSATION GAME). I work and volunteer with abuse/violence prevention and post-trauma support organizations. I hold long-standing experience as a musician, commercial photographer, and journalist. Through this I have gathered familiarity holding space for, and with, multiple truths which is integral to my praxis.
Born in Tennessee (on The Farm), I was raised in Ontario and Zimbabwe. I’m a French/Italian/Scottish/Irish/Unknown unsettled settler living - with commitment to learning, unlearning, and learning again - on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh Nations (Vancouver BC).
