I grew up along the rugged shorelines of Georgian Bay in the small tourist town of Tobermory, Ontario. I graduated from Wilfred Laurier University with a degree in Anthropology and Archaeology and worked for an archaeological consulting company for over 12 years. In 2015 I went back to school and completed a certificate in Drawing and Painting (Visual Art Fundamentals) at the Haliburton School of the Arts. This reignited my passion for art and I have been finding new ways of combining my love for archaeology and nature with my love of art.
