AboutI am a photographer and visual artist based in London, Ontario. My practice uses lens-based media to offer deeply personal encounters with large-scale social, cultural, and historical themes. I also work as a freelance photographer, and am available for private and corporate commissions including portraits and events. My first formal photography studies were with Susan McEachern at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1994. After this I pursued a self-directed practice while working as a producer and manager in contemporary theatre and music for over a decade. I had the good fortune to be involved in many fascinating projects with international creators such as Philip Glass, R. Murray Schafer, Jeanne Lamon and Christos Hatzis. My work has been featured in group exhibitions including in the 2007 Grand Design Festival in Toronto, and is held by the City of Toronto Archives and in private collections in Canada, the US, and the UK. In 2011 I was recognized as a National Winner in Documentary Photography by the Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators’ Rodeo competition. Between my arts management career and returning to school for photography, I spent five years as a manager in the Ontario Public Service working at the highest levels of government. In 2009 I returned to university full-time to finish what I had started in 1994. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from Toronto Metropolitan (then called Ryerson) University in 2014. |
