About
I’m an artist, curator/cultural worker, and scholar of white European and UK settler ancestry, based on the ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaɬ Nations (Vancouver, Canada). Born on Algonquin territory (outside of Ottawa, Ontario), prior to moving west, I was rooted for fourteen years on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People (Nova Scotia).
In my artistic practice, I make monumental drawings that act as gestural translations and embodied repertoire. A methodology of rehearsing specific culinary gestures through drawing has formed the basis of my artwork for more than a decade. This practice also informs my curatorial interests in translation, the lacuna, visual scores, performance, embodied memory, domestic spheres, and the everyday.
Organisationally, formerly as Director/Curator of Access Gallery (2017-2023), as Eyelevel’s Artistic Director (2013-17), and through my work with Flotilla (2017), I’ve aimed to challenge modes of presentation, making space for care, risk, and failure in artistic practice.
I hold an MA from Simon Fraser University School for the Contemporary Arts (2026) and a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2007). My research and curatorial interests are grounded in my experience as an artist, and reflect an attention to practice, relation, and process.
