I’m a passionate artist and educator with years of experience teaching workshops designed to empower emerging creatives.

Through my work with Workman Arts, Arts Etobicoke, and Mural Routes, I’ve honed my ability to guide artists and creators at all stages in their journey. Whether you're just starting or refining your craft, my workshops provide practical tools, inspiring techniques, and a supportive, growing environment.
