bio

I was born in Kitchener and grew up in Ajax and Pickering. After graduating from high school I found myself with no ambition in my life and no insight into where it would take me. I moved to Vancouver Island where a slow and steady process of awakening took place. This is when I discovered painting.

Within two years I was studying art full time at the Victoria College of Art. I graduated in 2002 and have since moved back to Ontario. Kitchener has been my home now since 2004.
