I’m a transdisciplinary artist engaged in social practice and community focused projects, interweaving my experiences with collective experiences such as trauma, death, belonging, communication, and ideas of identity. Collaborating with research as a primary tool, I create interactive works with multisensorial 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’ve worked/volunteered, and continue to work, front-line with violence prevention organizations. I hold long-standing experience as a musician, commercial photographer, and journalist. Gathered familiarity holding space for, and with, multiple truths 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 attention to learning, unlearning, and learning again, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh Nations; Vancouver BC.
