The Artist Project 2025 ~ DeSerres Artist Prize Winner 2022

Welcome, I am an oil painter & educator based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In my artistic practice, I have explored the interplay between technology, human connection, and how it is shaping our modern culture. I have currently relocated my life to a more nature connected environment. I am beginning a long term artist residency that will examine how this drastic life style change will inform my practise. But what has not changed is:

Living in a world that increasingly pulls us into digital dependency, AI, and algorithms, my artwork is an act of subversion—a reminder of the tangible, the human, the real. It challenges the grip of screen addiction and the ways it reshapes our connections, mental well-being, and sense of self. Through painting, I ask: How do we reclaim our attention, our presence, our humanity in a system designed to keep us endlessly scrolling? Art has the power to disrupt, to provoke, to awaken—and in that, there is hope.
