I'm an illustrator and animator living in Canada with a passion for exploring the weird and wonderful through shape and colour. Creating and designing for over a decade, I have a drive to show others ever changing life and experiences in different mediums. Art is so much more than something to look at, it is the connection between people and the world around us. If there are any questions about my work do not hesitate to reach out and ask!
