I am an artist and metalsmith, currently living and working in Halifax, Canada. I grew up in southwestern Ontario, and have lived in Ottawa, Montreal and southwest France. I studied painting and religious studies, hoping to combine artistic skill with my interest in the human search for meaning.
An impulse to explore more dimension in my art, and a fascination with lost wax casting, led to formally studying Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing at NSCAD, where I completed a post-graduate certificate in 2025. The previous year, I was awarded in the National Student Silversmithing Competition for my piece "Hindsight."
Essentially, I aim to explore the fragility, mystery and implicit tensions held within the human experience. I have always been drawn to art as a way of making sense of existence. Observing the ephemerality of nature plays a large part in my artistic practice.
I am currently making work within a series entitled Nature Morte, the French term for still life. By combining geometric structures with fragmented organic forms, I approach the tension between: the mathematical and the natural, order and chaos, or how we live versus what we know.
I also produce a small line of ready-to-wear jewellery, in a collection entitled
dear Voyager.
