is an emerging artist from Ottawa, ON. She graduated with her Bachelors of Fine Art from the University of Ottawa in 2024. Her practice focuses on structure balance and instability using imagery that reflects domesticity, destruction, and chaos. Using fragmented and gestural forms in painting and sculpture, her work explores the idea of “home” as she reconciles the contradictions and grievances of growing up.
