As a visual artist and trained chef, I explore the fertile common ground between communities and the sharing of art, food, and conversation.
I consider new ways to document the intersection between creative practices, communities and food. My work also investigates how the contributions of artists, cooks and makers can positively impact the well-being of themselves and others. This part of my work was the subject of my graduate thesis at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD University); my mastrs was awarded in May 2024.
I am also the founder and co-facilitator of Alchemy, an international artist-led residency. Founded on the Toronto Islands in 2015, Alchemy now takes place annually on the Toronto Islands and in rural Prince Edward County, Ontario.
