> Professional Artist And Educator With More Than 20 Years In The Art World

I am a professional artist and a prof at Canada's largest art school OCAD University.

I worked in the animation and illustration industries for a decade.   I created visual content at all stages of the production pipeline, including as an animator, concept and character designer, storyboard artist, background artist, artistic director and illustrator. Clients included TVO Kids, BBDO, Toyota, Scholastic books, MTV.

After completing my graduate studies, I became a professional fine artist and I joined the Faculty of Art at OCAD University. 

I have an active painting studio practice and I have exhibited my work in countless fairs and exhibitions internationally. My work lives in collections in Canada, the US, Germany and Italy. My work has been recognized by my peers through multiple local and national grants.
