I have spent most of my life in and around Saskatoon, Treaty Six Territory, where I currently work as a high school art educator at Aden Bowman Collegiate. In addition to my BED (2006), I hold a degree in Religious Studies (MA, Regent College, 2012) and an MFA (University of Saskatchewan 2017). I have been a practicing artist and teaching visual arts and related courses for over 15 years. 

My work is drawing-based, site specific, and relational – sometimes involving interviews or personal objects. My practice explores the potency of objects and materiality, circling around the nature and meaning of objects that populate everyday life, their human and non-human atmospheres, and the role that memory and perception play in one’s construction of the real. The work has been described as poetic, and gestural.  My drawings reference the shadows left behind by missing objects, or highly realized monochromic renderings of personal items, rocks and ruins.  My ceramic work is based on descriptions of missing objects resulting in sculptures that are familiar, yet strange.  More recently, I have created a series of augmented reality filters for social media platforms that engage the viewer in contemplative time.  Many of my projects change or unfold over time, sometimes with an interactive of performative quality. 

I have exhibited in Saskatoon, and throughout Western Canada including an exhibition with artist Tamara Rusnak at the Art Gallery of Regina, solo exhibitions at the Lookout Gallery (Vancouver), Harcourt and House (Edmonton), group shows at Neutral Ground (Regina), Chapel Gallery (North Battleford), The Mann Art Gallery (Prince Albert), a billboard project at Paved Arts (Saskatoon), as well as several local artist residencies.  This summer with the support of Canada Council, I was able to present my digital work at the International Society for the Study of Time in Yamaguchi Japan.  I have been supported by SKArts and Canada Council grants, and was the 2019 recipient of the Jane Turnbull Evans Award from Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts.
