I am a queer multi-disciplinary artist living in Vancouver, Canada. I moved from Saskatoon to Vancouver almost 15 years ago to pursue a career as an artist. I acknowledge that I create upon traditional, ancestral and the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. I attended The Art Institute from 2011-2013. After graduating I decided to get into the Film Industry and have had the amazing opportunity to travel the world to work in Ireland, Spain, England and of course Canada, while working on Disney, Netflix, Universal and Apple productions.
In all of my creative outlets (except for dance) I am self-taught. Dancing and performing has always been a strong outlet for me to express myself. I am part of the Pin-Up Posse and perform regularly in Cabaret and Burlesque shows. I believe by sharing my story through visual mediums and my words, I can help others feel seen, heard and embraced in their own experience. I love to hype people up in the photography studio and let them feel safe to express themselves completely. I am spiritual and that plays a large role in the way I create.
As part of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, I strive to create an inclusive space filled with openness to share ideas and experiences. I am passionate about Indigenous reconciliation/ land back, environmental protection and animal rights.
I recently got a studio at The Parker St Studios in East Van and am very excited to take part in the Eastside Culture Crawl 2025. My style is always evolving and influenced by my surroundings and emotions. My favourite way to get inspiration for future collections is by travelling and meeting new people. I produced my first photography show “The Divine Feminine” in 2019 and published a poetry book, “Grounded” in 2023. I became an Artist Partner with Farmboy Fine Arts in 2023 and soon my art will be more travelled than me by being showcased across Canada and the States, the Caribbean and Turks & Caicos.
