Starting out as a Graphic Designer in Toronto, I later became enthralled with the finer arts. I’ve experimented with various mediums, including oil, acrylic, encaustic, egg tempera, mixed media, and even sculpture. I’ve studied numerous techniques and styles at various schools, including the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario), Toronto School of Art, ArteMbassy, Avenue Road Art School, and Maggiolly Arts.
For five years, I served as the artistic director on the AIDSbeat Event committee. AIDSbeat is a battle of bands, made up of professionals from the legal field, competing for the coveted Lexpert Cup. Funds raised go into CANFAR’s AIDS Research. I conceived and created event themes such as the 60s MOD Club, Las Vegas Casino, Rock & Roll Circus, Summer of Love, and executed large wall and floor graphics, interactive photo installations like a Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, a John & Yoko Bed-In, interactive Circus portraits, and print and web design for sponsorship recruitment.
In 2015, I moved to Orangeville and opened an art studio where I’ve painted portraits of musicians, movie stars, and other notable people. My art has been displayed on numerous occasions at the gallery space at the Theatre Orangeville.
In 2023, I was honoured to become a board member of the Theatre Orangeville.
