I lived in Coquitlam British Columbia for most of my life, only coming to Alberta after my grade 12 graduation. I left BC to further my education and to grow as an artist. The main things that I still carry with me from my childhood are my memories, my passion for art, and a wish to grow as an artist. I believe that art is not about the things that we create, it's about the effect that we leave with our viewers.
Fantasy has been an integral part of my life since I was a child. I imagine worlds that are not too different from our own, where creatures and sentient beings of all sort live, work, and play. These fantasy worlds come together in my head, some screaming to be drawn or created into a 3D figure. Fantasy is often thought of as being a child’s dream, but I strongly believe that a person can and should carry those dreams with them throughout their entire life. Without dreams and fantasy, life quickly becomes a dull place without any sort of wonderment or awe.
