ABOUT ME
I am an Ottawa-based fine artist, marketing professional and current English teacher in South Korea.
My artistic practice focuses mainly in photography. I developed a love of photography after picking up my mother’s 35mm T-70 film Canon camera.
I graduated from the Bachelor of Fine Art program from the University of Ottawa in 2013 and completed the Marketing Management Graduate Certificate from Algonquin College in 2014.
My photography has been displayed in a solo exhibit at Café Alt, featured in a catalogue for a local small business in Westoboro called [Clothes] by Muriel Dombret and multiple group exhibitions at Paradigm Gallery, Gallery 115 and apart of the graduate exhibit MOMENTUM in 2013.
In the winter of 2011 I was commissioned to create a sculpture for the Winterlude festival in Ottawa which was displayed in Confederation Park.
​ Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments and criticisms.
