Through catastrophic brain injury and resulting trauma comes a channel of expression from which I create my artworks.
Having an education in art, I have learned skills such as Life drawing, Still Life, Shape, Principles and Elements, Colour, and Fundamentals. This has given me a successful career as a well-established professional artist.
My work is represented and seen throughout North America and I have participated in various regional art shows, and solo shows in Montreal, Ottawa, and Kingston as well as having been honored to participate in The Florence Biennale in Italy, Chicago USA’s Art Expo, Toronto’s Arta Gallery’s Modern Woman and London Vogue. My Artwork is currently being shown in Prestigious Galleries across Eastern Canada.
I have had my work mentioned in numerous documents and literature. My artwork has been heavily collected by the Federal Government of Canada as well as held in many private collections and in many countries.
I continue to challenge myself to create a multi-dimensional world on a two-dimensional stage in order to achieve depth and emotion in each piece.

I've looked through your write-ups and haven't found anything to this effect, so I'm wondering if you have any solid resources for Black history in Canada? I'm writing something that takes place in the 1920s with a majority Black cast and it's almost impossible to find detailed information about the Black experience in that time period, it's mostly just short summaries of events that gloss over daily life. If you don't have resources but could point me toward people/blogs that would be great as well.
Thanks for your help! Keep up the great work!
Black History in Canada: 1900-1960
Black History in Toronto
RKC Law: February is Black History Month (Vancouver)
Black Workers in Canada: the 20th Century Experience
Black Feminist Art History in 1920s Montreal
There are links to more resources within these links that might be a good start! I would personally consider the era in general; fashion, technology, and the struggle against racism wouldn't be drastically different from the U.S. Black experience in the 20s. Canada has this longstanding facade of being "safer" than the U.S. in terms of antiblackness (from the "slaves ran to Canada" concept) and other forms of racism and it's just not true lmao.
If there are Black Canadians who know more specifics, please feel free to chime in!
