Painting an extraordinary, ordinary disabled life
Greetings traveller, you’ve found your way to my art newsletter.
I’m a visual artist and creativity coach based in the prairie city of Calgary, Canada. Trained as an animator and employed for many years as a web developer and digital marketer, my journey to becoming a self-taught acrylic painter has been a long and winding one.
Over the years, however, art has become my passion, my mental health practice and my way to shift society’s ill-fitting narrative around disability.
