I am a Canadian visual artist living and creating in Kelowna, BC. Alongside my artistic practice, I'm employed as a workshop technician at the University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus in the department of Creative Studies specializing in digital fabrication and metal based sculpture. 

My artistic practice is one of imagination, potential, and questioning. Examining the unique qualities in objects as specific markers of material culture, my work explores the physical and conceptual reconstruction of objects using generative algorithmic 3D modeling and computer aided manufacturing. My curiosity exists at the lines, points, and planes in which a reconstruction of an object’s qualities no longer recreates and instead constructs a new thing with new relationships to utility, aesthetics, ubiquity, and recognition. Through the creation of object-based sculptures, I aim to create variability within a defined system that both respects and breaks an object's essential structure.
