ABOUT

A decade ago, I began my artistic journey with just a camera and a vision. Today, as a Toronto-based photographer and mixed media artist, I create immersive visual narratives that challenge, celebrate, and transform how we see one another.

My work has evolved from portrait photography into richly layered mixed media portraits that honor the existence and resilience of communities often pushed to society's margins. Each piece in my collection amplifies the voices and experiences of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, and others living on society's periphery—those I call "The Invisible Majority."

My creative process merges traditional photography with tactile elements—acrylic paint, digital and paper photo prints, wheatpaste, paint markers, physical objects, adornments, copic pens, textiles, and more. For public installations, I employ high-quality outdoor paint and weather-resistant adhesives to ensure my work stands as a lasting presence in community spaces.

This layering of materials mirrors the complexity of identity and experience. A portrait begins with photography but transforms as each new element adds depth and meaning—fabric that carries cultural significance, objects that hold personal stories, colors that evoke emotional resonance.

Through my work, I invite viewers into a space of thoughtful reflection. Why have these particular communities been historically overlooked? What systems keep certain groups invisible despite their essential contributions to our shared society? How might we see differently when we recognize the full humanity of those deemed "other"?

My public art projects and community collaborations serve as visual interventions in spaces where diverse representation has been absent. By bringing these portraits into shared urban environments, I transform how communities see themselves reflected in our collective landscape.

Collaborations & Partnerships

I actively seek partnerships with brands and organizations committed to empowering creative artists and amplifying diverse voices. My collaborative approach brings authentic storytelling and representation to shared projects, creating meaningful connections between communities, brands, and public spaces. Together, we can create custom art that not only beautifies but transforms our understanding of who belongs in the cultural conversation.

Join the Conversation

I create art as a catalyst for change—a visual invitation to imagine and build a more equitable future together. Through curiosity, empathy, and honest dialogue, we can dismantle the barriers that have kept too many invisible for too long.
