ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I am a Toronto based visual artist and freelance hairstylist. My current body of figurative and abstract artwork serves as a vehicle for accessing ancestral memories, and my dreams which yield growth, structure and forward thinking. Through an intuitive process of visualization, I paint and draw to explore spirituality, wellness, sensuality, and nature to communicate my lived experiences.
