ABOUT
Professional Details
Ever since I can remember, I was interested in doing art. Growing up, I learned the importance of paying attention to the story that each image reveals & a mind full of stories to tell. I have been able to use my art to see a vision and offer strength. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I’m proud to share the highlights of my work on this site. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to discuss working together. This mural was done for the John Howard Society, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
