I am primarily a self-taught artist, having engaged in occasional classroom learning. 

I enjoy using impressionism, symbolism and realism to express the beauty, power and magic of nature, ideas, scenes and life in colourful, creative pieces.

I have been creating and painting for most of my life involving a variety of materials and mediums, including: glassblowing; ceramics; stained glass; stone carving – both hard and soft stone; drawing and sketching with graphite, watercolour and coloured pencils; painting with watercolours, oils, gouache and acrylics.

My artistic influences include Anishnaabe philosophy and symbolism, Canadian cultural values, plus personal studies, beliefs, preferences and experiences. 

I am a great-granddaughter of Algonquin Chief John Baptiste, affiliated with the Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini of the Bancroft and Maynooth area.  Raised in the Bancroft area, I have lived and worked in Toronto and Peterborough areas and, since 2014, I have been living in St. Catharines, Ontario.
