As an art teacher, my roles are twofold. My first and foremost role is to be an educator, to guide and assess my students' growth as artists, students, and human beings.

 

However, I have a second role that is nearly as important as the first. I am a mentor, a role model artist, and in order to fulfill this role completely I need to maintain my own artistic practice.

 

This section of my portfolio website is where you will find evidence to prove that I really know what I am talking about when it comes to making art.

Clockwise from top left: 

• A self-portrait in graphite on mylar, photographed in a window against a dramatic sky. 

• A photograph documenting the end of my Big Blue project at Mega Brands. Each pixel in this artwork is actually a single MegalBloks brick, and over 60% of them had to be hand-painted in the exact right colour!

• A selfie in my Pinkie Pie cosplay at Montreal Comic-Con. My handmade purse accessory can be found in the section on Textile Art.

• Working hard on weaving a story home. More information on this project can be found in my Sculpture section. 

• A publicity photograph taken to promote one of my fundraising live drawing events, where I took requests and drew them on the spot using charcoal, ink, and graphite. All proceeds from this event went to support mental health programs in Montreal.
