Biography
Over the course of the last decade my work has explored understandings of identity, trauma, and life-phases through an active printmaking, installation, and multimedia practice. Currently, through my creative practice I am exploring the intersections of gender violence, embodied trauma, and environmental crises. I have exhibited my print works widely both nationally and internationally and enjoy participating in, and curating print exchanges. When I am not teaching or working on various print projects, I am likely tending to my many plant cohabitants or helping to facilitate gallery programming at Alberta Printmakers Society. I am a white settler and my pronouns are she/her.
