She has exhibited her photographic and video work in Canada, the UK, and South Africa. " I am an artist from North Vancouver, Canada. I studied photography and then later art history. I have recently completed my MFA. My practice has shifted from a focus vernacular photography to an investigation on how photography and video, aids in a dynamic sculptural and gestural practice. This investigation in informed by adjacent research around ‘digging histories’ and how narratives are constructed through the proximity of objects. I am looking at objects relation to other objects as an essential literacy, and not a circumstantial happenstance. This allows me to think of my own work as a digging site in which seemingly disjointed interests and symbols are comfortably allowed to share space."
