I am an Indigenous painter from downtown Ottawa. Being urban-born and a child of a 60’s Scoop survivor meant that I was raised outside of traditional Indigenous culture. I believe it’s incredibly important to share my family’s story within my works, and to create a visual presence for the grossly underrepresented urban Indigenous experience.

I have received formal training in painting since I was a child. I completed my high school diploma in Canterbury high school’s visual arts program, and I’m currently completing the BFA of visual arts at the University of Ottawa. I have won two awards for my work in the last year.
I enjoy combining elements of Anishinaabe Woodland style painting with my formal education in art. I tend to incorporate Woodland iconography within my three-dimensional spaces.
