Artist statement: 'I was born and spent my childhood in rural Ontario, and have since lived in cities across Canada and abroad.
I completed the Studio Arts Foundation Program at Capilano University in Vancouver BC, where I studied painting with Marcus Bowcott and Nancy Boyd, sculpture with George Rammell, and printmaking with Wayne Eastcott. With funding assistance from the BC Centre for International Education, I then studied overseas for one year, completing the 3rd Year Fine Arts Program at the Malaysian Institute of Art in Kuala Lumpur, with a focus on Chinese Ink Painting.
