About

Hello!

Born in Canada, and based in San Francisco, I hold an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Art and Technology Department and have an active, integrated studio practice, where I connect with my spirit guides to create sculptures, images and writing.

You can see my art work here.

For many years, I’ve worked as a professional artist and educator, blending technology with subtle energies to create sculptures, experimental digital media, and interactive environments. About a decade ago, I was guided to combine my desire to make the invisible visible in my art through and with my spiritual practices. I believe that through creative problem solving, imagination and energy clearing it is possible to live a more embodied and present life.

For many years, I’ve been making art about the unseen. Since my spiritual gifts were so entwined in my art, it took me some time to understand how to honour and share these spiritual gifts openly, to support others and be of service. I am committed to life-long healing to break the cycle of ancestral trauma related to alcoholism and depression—a struggle I’ve faced personally.

The foundation of my training to learn spiritual technologies began with a two-year program taught in San Francisco by Shamanic practitioner, energy healer and teacher Anna Dorian. I’ve also studied Ancestral Lineage Healing & Practical Animism with Dr. Daniel Foor at Ancestral Medicine and trained with Simon Buxton on Soul Retrievals & Extractions at The Sacred Trust in England.
