About me
Fascinated by allegory, myth, symbolism, and man's relationship to the environment, my artwork explores the fictional worlds both constructed and experienced. In examining otherworldly presences and the continuity of ancient myth, I have discovered the vast geographical reach of Greek myth. This has led me to Italy, the United States, Greece, and Portugal where I have responded to artifacts such as antiquity sculptures, archeological sites, museum collections, botanical gardens, and commercial garden ornaments.

Artist Statement
Fascinated by allegory, myth, symbolism, and man's relationship to the environment, my artwork explores the fictional worlds both constructed and experienced. In examining otherworldly presences and the continuity of ancient myth, I have discovered the vast geographical reach of Greek myth. This has led me to Italy, the United States, Greece, and Portugal where I have responded to artifacts such as antiquity sculptures, archeological sites, museum collections, botanical gardens, and commercial garden ornaments.
My artistic work has exhibited in Canada, United States, Europe, India, and China. I have received grants from Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, BC Arts Council, SKArts, a President’s SSHRC from University of Saskatchewan, and three Elizabeth Foundation Awards. I have collaborated on small research projects with faculty from Music and Anatomy and Cell Biology.
