nice to meet you!
I’m a painter, muralist, and art educator with a sincere belief in the vitality of community connected through art.
As an art instructor I love to foster curiosity and engagement in the Toronto art scene and local communities.
I make all kinds of art — sometimes inspired by poetry and literature, or fuelled by my favourite music . . . and at other times I just like to paint cats. My identity, passions, and whims punctuate my work.
I love to experiment with styles, mediums, and different applications for my artwork. You’ll find my art on bicycle barriers and electric boxes, in zine libraries and pockets, and in schoolyards and classrooms across the city.
None of my work is assisted by generative ai, and it never will be.

Books, art, and teaching are my greatest loves.
