About Me

I am an illustrative artist based in both Ontario and Nova Scotia, Canada, where half of my time is spent creating and the other studying for a bachelor's degree in Biology. This dual passion for art and science has always been a distinct part of me, and I've been blending them seamlessly since childhood.
​
My art is a direct reflection of my encounters in the wild. Whether it's capturing the quiet wisdom of an ancient tree or the playful energy of a squirrel, I enjoy creating pieces that weave a distinct narrative, encouraging observers to step into a world of their own imagination.
​
Along with my art, I have a deep passion for the environment and conservation. I have always been aware of the negative impacts us humans have on the environment around us, and the consequences those impacts have on our health as a whole. From plastics and PFAs, to deforestation and global warming, our consumerism and selfishness has led to an intense climate crisis. This is why I try to do my part and reduce my own impact as much as I can, and hopefully inspire others to do the same through my "Environmentalism" page.
​
Outside of my artistic and academic pursuits, I enjoy learning to play the violin, losing myself in jazz music, birdwatching, diving into Jane Austen's timeless stories, and, of course, rewatching my favorite 90s-2000s rom-coms (because, let's be honest, they're unbeatable).

Thanks for reading ;)
