Artist Statement

I use mixed media and acrylic paint on canvas to explore my ‘mixed’ heritage. My work is about the ubiquitous nature of toxic stereotypes and the reality of being a biracial woman in Canada. It’s the interface between ugly truths and the beauty of women who persevere. Wear garbage and graffiti with pride and creativity. Cherish the burnt remains and torn pages of history.
