I was born in Toronto, raised in Alberta and currently live and work in Vancouver. My practice is centered on an ongoing investigation of visual narrative creation. My background is in painting, I have a MFA in Painting from the University of Alberta, and as a result notions of quality, craft and taste continue to plague me. I am interested in visual narratives: film, video, comic books, serial image making, multimedia installation and book works. For me selection of media should be based on practical considerations. I maintain sensitivity to formal concerns, a love for material qualities and a desire to create objects. My hope is to someday make a work of heartbreaking beauty. In the meantime I bring together various image making strategies to create free form narratives that examine the mechanics and politics of image construction, the source of creativity and the outer limits of my craft.
