My Practice

My practice is an interdisciplinary mix that includes a visual arts practice working in the mediums of photography, drawing and print making, designing and delivering continuing education, community arts and arts infused programs for a diverse range of learners, as well as various non-profit sector management roles. Complimenting and informing this diverse background is an equally diverse educational background that includes an MEd in Adult Education, BEd (Visual Arts Specialist), BFA in Fine Arts, and a Certificate in Adult Education. Along with these credentials I have also completed professional development programs in Non – Profit Sector Management, PLAR (Prior Learning and Recognition), Coaching and Design Thinking.

Artist Statement
​

The medium of photography is more often than not a medium of the found image. There is also a long history of manipulating and transforming photographic images. I find myself straddling the fence between these two aesthetic practices as the photographs and photo – based works I create are derived through a kind of dialogue between the found and the constructed. As my primary subject matter is the urban landscape, these landscapes hide and reveal themselves. I can walk down the street one – day and see nothing, two days later I walk down the same street and ten plus images emerge. Some of these images will stand on their own, while others will be transformed either digitally or physically. The transformed images become the constructed images. During the process of constructing these images new concepts or ideas for a new series of images emerge. How I determine what photographs are manipulated and what images remain unchanged becomes an intuitive thing.
