Okay, this is actually a pretty personal and touching story. So back in 2013 I was having pretty much the worst year imaginable. I was in and out of hospitals, until one day I end up in the ICU, and then on a psych ward for a suicide attempt. My psychiatrist pushed me really hard to make the decision to stay alive, despite the pain. He told me I needed to make a commitment to life. In the end it made my life simpler, and I have a lot to be thankful for because of this doctor. So, like, this sculpture is his fucking spirit or something. What? I just told you a really important life story and you want some more explanations? Fine. Origami paper was available on the ward, so I ended up making huge numbers of origami butterflies. The paper on these suckers is not acid free, so expect these fellows to discolor and wither a bit. It's cool though. That's the aging process in everyone's life, and because of this guy, I have an aging process too. Metaphor about walking down a road. Never mind. you guys are smart. You can figure out the visual metaphors and intentions for yourselves.

I am an emerging Canadian artist who resides in Victoria British Columbia, and I work in a variety of mediums and styles. I work primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, but I also regularly explore other fine arts for self development and inspiration. I am motivated to produce fine art from the love of visual journeys, and the quiet passion of creation. While in the past I have focused heavily on representational works, I am now developing works heavily influenced by color field and paint textures. Currently I am exploring the roles of expressive underpaintings, along with stark lines and edges. Outside of visual arts I enjoy a number of hobbies. I started playing piano at 6, and still enjoy sitting down at the keyboard and challenging myself with hard pieces. This goes well with my singing, which I regularly performed in front of hundreds, and had the privilege of traveling for internationally. Earlier this year I started a casual flirtation with stand-up comedy, which really complimented my decades long love of writing poetry and fiction. I particularly enjoy writing works of sarcasm sprinkled with profanity, which you will notice if you read the descriptions of my art, though I generally stick to formal prose. However, don’t assume I’m just into the arts, because I’m fairly multifaceted. I find science and technology fascinating, and I’d rather read a textbook than a novel. I’ve worked extensively with the computers and gaming communities, including administering Canada’s second largest server for the second highest selling computer game in history. Overall I’m a fairly complex person who’s not limited to fine arts in the terms of talent or skill.
