My practice is rooted in material transformation; how bodies move through space, how touch and labour change the substances we work with and how we are changed in return. Working across sculpture, painting, textiles, installations and performance, I am drawn to the sensory and the embodied, to the reciprocal exchange between humans and nonhumans and how art translates a knowing that cannot be reached through language alone.

A daily walking practice is central to my practice. It provides a way of reading place through its rhythms, its landscape and material. The embedded memories and history I experience seep into my body and eventually into the gestural expressionist, multi-disciplinary work. This attentiveness has shaped a sustained north-south connection with Mexico. That relationship continues to inform how I understand material, labour and the body.

I was born in Regina Saskatchewan and after a career in nursing and public service received a MFA from Emily Carr University in 2022. I have work held in private collections in North America and Europe.
