Bio:

Canadian artist born in Toronto in 1989, my studio is based in Cheltenham, UK.

Artist Statement:

My work is inspired by lonely and magical landscapes. Drawing from the desolate and pure spaces of my rural Canadian childhood, and the rich character and storylines of british places where I live, I aim to resolve a closeness to both homelands. I am interested in creating small work that feels precious and full of secrets. My work is woven with wire, and crafted so that it can hang directly on a stud or nail without a traditional frame. They are objects that are ready to hang.
