I am an art-maker, craft-maker, graphic designer, product designer, and educator. Having graduated from the Victoria College of Art some 25 years ago I practiced my art as time and space would allow. I continued my education after art school with a dual design and academic focus at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, University of Victoria, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, BCIT, Douglas College, and lastly, Simon Fraser University. Throughout, the act of painting maintained its grasp yet some years saw more of an output than others due to storage limitations, blocks of time available, and the often times prohibitive cost of supplies (I enjoy a good Cad Red Light!).
