About
I am a multimedia artist and designer originally from Sudbury, Canada. In 2022, I graduated from Toronto Metropolitan's Film Studies program with a bachelor's in Fine Arts and a specialization in Graphic Design. At 23, I completed my first animated short film “A Great Big Terrible Dream” and painted a mural in Sudbury for Up Here. I am an artist who loves storytelling through different mediums such as illustration, animation, photography, and much more. I pull my inspiration from my strange dreams and the surrealism I find in my everyday life.
