Portfolio
Thanks for checking out my work. Here are samples of recent art, workshops, demonstrations, and community engaged arts that I have had the joy of making, teaching and facilitating.
Raccoon - Steel Sculpture - Work-in-progress - 2025
This is the first piece in a new series titled Undesirables. This series features animals that have successfully adapted to urban living due to losing their natural habitat to deforestation. Fabricated in steel with MIG welding.
Pop-up Art Studio and Collaborative Painting - 2024
This was one of three collaborative painting engagements I facilitated during my artist-in-residency with the City of Abbotsford, from May - October, 2024. During these two-hour engagements, residents were invited to join me paint a piece of art featuring a heritage building of Abbotsford. Everyone who added paint to canvas signed the back of the canvas to create a truly collaborative art piece.

Monoprinting with Stencils Workshop - 2024

NBD- Me and a Peasant with a Wheelbarrow, acrylic on canvas, 16 x 20" - 2018
Part of an in-going series titled "Selfies through Art History" which started in 2013. This series is a light-hearted play on what life would be like if selfies existed throughout history. It is also a way to track my age, and painting skills by creating derivative works of well known art pieces.
Lost connections, Reconnected - Public Art Engagment - 2024.
During this two-hour, all ages public art engagement, participants were invited to choose from a variety of pre-carved Abbotsford inspired stamps, to create a card to send to a love one. If they knew the mailing address of the individual, I collected the cards and sent them in the mail to their recipients the next day. For those who didn't know the address, they were invited to take their cards home with them.
