About

I have been drawn to art and design from an early age, a passion that led me to leave a 20 year career in large scale international sporting events to pursue my creative practice full time. I hold a Design Communication Arts Certificate from UCLA Extension and a degree in Business Management from Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia. My work has since been exhibited at galleries in San Diego, New York and Milan. I currently run a home studio in Fort Langley, BC.

Artist Statement

My medium of choice is acrylic paint on canvas. I am drawn to exploring the tension between sexuality, religion, and acceptance through both modern and classical themes. My work often blends contrasting influences, combining the raw expressive energy of street art found in the alleyways of Shoreditch, East London, with the compositional depth and drama of Baroque portraiture seen in institutions like the Louvre.

Working in acrylic allows me to build layered surfaces that evoke the worn textures and visual grit of urban environments. These distressed elements act as a metaphor for the LGBTQ+ experience, beauty that persists even when subjected to erasure, pressure, or decay

My work draws on history and Greek mythology, reinterpreting these narratives through a contemporary queer lens that highlights male closeness, vulnerability, and implied intimacy often overlooked in traditional retellings. By reimagining these stories, I aim to reclaim their emotional depth and assert a place for queer identity within cultural and historical legacy.
