I am a Toronto-based freelance illustrator who enjoys working in both digital and traditional mediums. My paintings are characterized by an impasto effect and bright, saturated colours. I am mostly inspired by the unique looks and aesthetics I observe on people in my everyday life and try to incorporate that into my own work.

My specific interests include children’s illustration, character design, and acrylic portraits.  I studied art fundamentals for one year and then illustration for two years at Seneca College.
