Artist Statement: 

I am an artist based out of Halifax. My work manifests itself in a variety of media, most commonly watercolour drawings.
I seek to uncover both humble and provocative histories of early generations, more specifically those of women who were brazen and persistent in forging for a new social order. I am interested in investigating the changes in gender roles and our relationships to home, landscape and tradition. I work from my research and imagination to create characters, environments and subject narratives that are lyrical yet quiet, like frozen moments from dreams or nightmares. My work seeks the threads that connect the past and present, weaving imagery that urges people to wander through the drawings, discovering more upon each view and unfolding questions about the foundations on which our communities are built.
