Hello

I am an interdisciplinary visual artist and herbalist. My art practice is based in mindfulness and fosters a deeply rooted connection to the land I inhabit. My work plays on the ephemeral and is created in a flow state. 

​

    I live, work, and play on the unceded land of the Coast Salish First Nations and extend much gratitude and respect for this privelege. 

​

Education

​

I hold a  Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts with a minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and have a background in social services.

​

For herbal medicine, I have learned from many teachers, including: Juliet Blankenspoor from Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, Asia Suler from One Willow Apothecaries, Yarrow Willard from Wild Rose College, Diana Munday AKA Mrs. Locavore, Marie Zak and Travis Cartwright from Althaea Herbals, Patrick Kooyman from Blue Lotus Ethnobotanicals, and Arielle de Martinez from Subluna. I consider myself a lifelong student to this practice, and am always learning and refining. I have found that my studies in herbal medicine informs my art practice and my art practice informs my approach to herbal medicine.

​

Artistic Process

     The mediums I use depends on the intentions I have. Working in nature connected ways, my aim is to inspire others to connect deeper with the land they are on in their own ways, be it through a creative process or simply by sitting with nature and paying attention to the nuances of the life that surrounds them.
     My art practice has a unique combination of foraged  and artist grade materials. My work is often experimental, and not always intended to be archival- it may change as it ages.
     I work in a variety of approaches, ranging from small to large scale paintings and drawings, murals, small to large scale sculptures using a variety of materials, fiber arts, illustration, photography, and printmaking. 

Like nature itself, my work is ever-evolving.
