2 weeks after completing my Bachelor of Education in August 2020 (Secondary School Teacher of Visual Art and First Nations, Metis and Inuit Studies) I secured my first teaching position.

I was planning on creating a new collection of woodcut prints inspired by the illustrations I did for Queen’s University, but my teaching position and Additional Teaching Qualification courses occupied my time.

In order to focus more on my artwork, I am teaching less this year (2021/22). As so many of us have found our lives altered by Covid-19, I have found a new breath of creative energy.

If there ever was a time to create, now is that time!

I will be posting more of my art process and documentation. Please continue to check in.

I have 3 projects that I have begun. Well, some of the materials have arrived. I’m really excited about this year.
