I've just completed my latest painting, and I'm excited to share it with you! Titled "Warrior Woman in a World of Ruins," it's a departure from my usual urban landscapes but still draws heavily from my favorite artists' styles.

when COVID-19 hit and masks became mandatory in many public spaces, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. For the first time, I could tic in public without worrying about the weird looks or comments from others. It was a strange and unexpected benefit of the pandemic.

One of my favorite things about creating art is the ability to capture the beauty in the mundane. I find inspiration in everyday objects and scenes, and I try to bring out their hidden beauty through my paintings. My Etobicoke paintings, for example, celebrate the sacredness of of the ordinary, as I try to find the beauty in the often cracked, broken, and abandoned places of the city I grew up in.
