About Me
I am an interdisciplinary artist and educator. A love for playfulness, patterns, collaboration, and spontaneous art-making processes fuels my creativity. I investigate the making and transformation of patterns through the play of analogue and digital processes. I create installations, digital images, animations, and Augmented Reality experiences by marrying slow textile-making techniques and tools with spontaneous digital manipulation methods. Through pattern and play, I explore the potentials of digital materiality, bringing digital into the physical and tangible into digital spaces.
I have an MFA from Concordia University in Montréal (2023) and a BFA from OCAD University in Toronto (2020), specializing in Textiles, though I am an interdisciplinary artist. My artistic and community arts practices have been recognized through awards from Craft Ontario (2019 and 2020), the Ontario Museum Association (2019), and the Surface Design Association (2020). My art has been published in and/or exhibited in Canada, the USA, Australia, Austria, and the Czech Republic. My former artist residencies include the Younger Than Beyoncé Gallery (Toronto, 2016), Harbourfront Centre’s Craft & Design Studio (Toronto, 2019), Pix Film Collective (virtual, 2021), and the Estonian Academy of Arts (Tallinn, 2022). I am currently an artist-in-residence at Harbourfront Centre’s Craft & Design Studio in Toronto.
