I am a settler artist living and working on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. I hold an MFA from NSCAD University and a BFA in Painting from Emily Carr University.

My practice examines the history and contemporary relevance of landscape painting, with a focus on the environmental and cultural implications of wildfires in British Columbia. My MFA thesis explored the legacy of Canadian landscape painting, situating my work in dialogue with the Group of Seven. Since 2019, my artistic practice has centered on the topic of wildfires. Alongside my studio work, I co-publish “Fire Season”, an artist anthology on wildfires, with my collaborator Amory Abbott. This project gathers contributions from writers and visual artists worldwide, fostering a collective creative reflection on our increasingly flammable world.

I have participated in numerous artist residencies, including the Sointula Art Shed (2019), the Caetani Cultural Center (2020/2021/2022), Island Mountain Arts (2021), the Similkameen Artist Residency (2023), Artscape Gibraltar Point (2023/2025), and the Klondike Institute for Arts + Culture (2024).

Upcoming projects include participation in prescribed burning projects in conjunction with the Bulkley Valley Research Center, Gitanyow First Nations, and BC Wildfire. I will also be offering art-making workshops to participants in Jasper, Alberta as part the development of community-based initiatives which help build psychosocial recovery after wildfire. In June 2026, in conjunction with Wildfire International, I will be facilitating the inaugural “Fire Season” artist residency in Kyburz, California.

In my pedagogy, I am interested in teaching and learning that happens outside of the classroom. This has guided me into undertaking the Inside Out training program, and I will be developing programming for the 2027 school year. Psychoanalytic theory about group dynamics also guide the ways in which I teach my students. I serve as president of the board of Duplex Artist Society. I have been the recipient of KPU’s 0.6% Professional Development Fund, the Faculty of Arts Excellence and Advancement Fund, and BC Arts Council grants.
