I have been studying Illustration at OCAD for four years, and from it I have learned to communicate stories and messages in many different ways. I prefer to communicate my ideas through symbolism, body language, surrealism, and expression. My passion is for communicating and understanding the underlying primal emotions and feelings that most people have by using whimsical, imaginative styles mixed with dark humor to produce works that anyone can relate to. My art tends to tell stories that are all at once beautiful and possibly unsettling, creating a combination of feelings and responses. I like to create art that is mysterious and ambiguous so that the viewer can make up their own story, or come up with multiple possibilities.
