"In order to develop as people we have to have our ideal world broken down."
- D.W. Winnicott

I am an emerging artist and recent graduate from the Visual Studies program at the University of Toronto. I also live and work in Toronto. I primarily work in printmaking and photography, but also do work in sculpture, drawing and painting. Most of my work deals with universal states of mind, integrated with personal but relative narratives. There are several themes that take centre stage in my work: dealing with a feeling of impermanence, struggling to reach idealist dreams that are fault worthy in themselves, the effects of nostalgia on our present lives, and how through analysis within my art I can approach possibilities in my future.
