Biography
I was born in Sudbury, Ontario, and raised in Toronto. My family is from
Nova Scotia<Truro & Cape Breton>.
My heritage is Bajan, Mi’kmaw and Dutch.
My work is a continued investigation of self; my desire is to create an
aesthetic paradox.
My photographs are most successful I feel when they kindle a sense of
perplexed curiosity.
I employ a visual narrative style, giving the viewer the choice to
“read” into the picture, or “look” at the picture.
I invite the viewer into my life, yet in very small steps. I like the
idea of presenting something public,
yet private. I follow my instincts
faithfully, so that one day I will be rewarded with the answer
to my existence.
I am a graduate of Ontario College of art and design in Toronto Ontario,
Canada.
My major is fine art photography. I also completed my social service
workers at Humber College.
My goal is to touch
the world in two ways. Principally I would like to empower people who
are struggling with
their current life situations. I would do this by providing appropriate
assistance in
a conscientious and
open minded manner. Second, as a continuum, I would like to introduce fine art
photography to the
social work field. This medium of art will create visual metaphoric voices for
involved
individuals. Engaging these people to share, educate and be heard through the
eye of the lens, will also help break
some of the silences that exist among people who experience
homelessness.
I have embarked on a
Raw Vegan lifestyle 3 years ago. I find this journey to be scary yet
refreshingly simple.
The changes I have
seen in my body are remarkable. I have lost the smoothness in my voice as a
result of acid reflux
and after a month of eating Raw vegan it healed. I also have lost 115
pounds to date.
