Artist statement

My work focuses on the world I experience. My work involves painting murals which bring light to the untold stories of the city, as well as making zines featuring art and writing about my life and experiences. These include things such as love, being a university student, mental illness, as well as being someone of mixed Indigenous-European descent. I write and make art about the world I see around me.
