A true Nova Scotian, I graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design(NSCAD) in 2003.

I am an oil painter who spends her time painting the passage of time. Rusted hardware and peeling paint are my passion. To me, the nail in each painting embodies a personality shaped from the time it was hammered in place. As individuals, we are like the nails: both alone and together we shape the integrity of our cultural existence. The nails in my paintings are fully exposed. My respect for this vulnerability is celebrated in the beauty of each imperfection found in the intricate textures of oxidized metal, peeling paint and worn wood.
