Christie Area-Mural
“Forget-Me-Nots” is an ode to those we leave behind and the people/places you don’t want to forget us. loosely based on a patch of plants that seem to grow among each other, constantly in different blooms. the way life moves on, like the cycle of bloom in wildflowers, and the inevitable change of life.

AHHHH Series
The Ahhhh series where developed alongside my first year at College, after moving to Toronto and realizing I would most likely be here for a while before it feels like a home and before I find anywhere close to a home. Originally, I called it my home series with general characteristics of traits I embody, while stuck to think in the endless mirage the city held, while homesickness prevailed. Although I do believe this series should mostly be up to the interpreter, I’ll give a general explanation below.
The Cowboy is the ideal of a lonesome man, ready for the challenge, homesick and basing his life on lies about happiness. The Fool is my way of getting over a connection never made, but heartbroken still, it was driving me insane how I was unable to get over them for months. The Present is my acceptance of the now and to tell myself not to dwell on past mistakes, nor current pains, to live and love what’s present. The Hunter is a representation of killing my old self, to try to self-create what I want to have. The Hunger is me being unable to bite the fruit of my labour; tired, in debt and unable to stay in the city, where my future felt pathed on.

Kincardine Postcards 2025
Wanting to make a homage to my hometown, I decided I would draw them the way I see best, they are then printed in Kincrdine and for sale at the Walker House museum. I wanted to feel the dizzy love for the unknowingly posed town I grew up in, but from the visitor’s side. To love the small town’s simplicity for beauty’s sake.

Recycling Series

Something has always called me about our recycling, our garbage. These objects we throw out so easily, but sometimes I’m tempted to keep them for their unique designs and lovely colours, but also their symbolic meaning, once left empty for waste. Designed to be chosen and then, once useless, tossed. The first 5 shown are specail, the kD I ate a lot growing up, Wagon Wheels were a piece of comfort and home when I painted them, sunbrews also somthing I enjoyed quite a bit at the time and shared with family members, the honey jar coming from a cottage up north I got with faimly, and the milk carton more a symbol of passing into adulthood. It reminds me of morning breakfast in a western idealized way, now empty as I walk into my 20s, knowing how the world really works, and what childhood can shield you from.

Self-Titled/The Doll

In a quick, we are made up of who raised us, who we pretend to be and how other people perceive us. In short I painted all the different ways I’m viewed/been formed.
