I am an emerging interdisciplinary artist currently based in Manitoba, Canada. I am a proud two-spirit, Red River Michif woman with an overactive imagination, a wild sense of humour, and a taste for chaos that leads my work in any direction it pleases. That’s what keeps it fun!

I seek out rich colour and texture in the mediums I work with. These are featured alongside naturally-sourced materials (such as raw and live-edged wood) and found objects. Often, my choice of materials holds subconscious intention for the project to come.

I love to work intuitively with a focus on experience in the immediate present, as opposed to orchestrating detailed plans ahead of time. This particular approach allows me to be more viscerally in-touch with the ideas that arise while I’m in the act of physically creating. In this way, I consider art-making a deeply personal ritual, where I’m deliberately engaging in conversation with my spirit, surroundings, experiences, and roots. I am always finding profound connections through my artworks.

My broader goals involve exploring the crossroads of paint, design, and conceptual art through experimentation. I am actively seeking new ways to harmonize my eccentric fields of interest in order to reach for more ambitious -- and powerful -- projects.
