Info

Basically I'm a professional artist currently residing in Nova Scotia, Canada.  I hold a BFA with a Major in Fine Art, Minor in Drawing from NSCAD University.  I attended classes at NSCAD for five years and have explored various disciplines including drawing, sculpture, (including plaster, stone, cast metals, plastics, rubber and assemblage), performance art, design, painting, photography, film, bookbinding, illustration, jewellery, environmental planning and a bit of computer-related studies.  My "real" job at the moment is as a professional tattooist in Cole Harbour, NS.

I garden for food and fun, enjoy camping, hiking and MTB trail riding.  I love sci-fi, comic books, and going to the movies(I even buy the $8 popcorn).  I have cats, rats, gerbils, fish and a UK ex-pat husband who created that Guinness Ice Lolly.
