l grew up in Prospect, Nova Scotia, just 10 km from Peggy's Cove, one of Canada's most famous tourist destinations. After attending Dalhousie University studying Biology, I decided to pursue Art as my main interest. I graduated from NSCAD in 1999 with a BFA in Fine Arts, and for my graduation show "The Ascetic: A Brief Glimpse of Reality" I merged figurative art, readymades and introduced my adoptive family to my real parents. I was searching for my real identity for years, finally discovering my artistic family from a small town in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

After graduating, I moved to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1999 and began painting again full time in 2006.
