Printmaking • Design • Equity • Advocacy
For the first time, my printmaking is being shown in a gallery!

Until 11 May there is a group show called “Shifting Ground” at Dundarave Print shop on Granville Island. My work “Contortionists - I” is on display. It brings emphasis to the changing forms of sea stars

I’m giving away my first set of prints to people who donate to Palestine!

I started etching in September and have really enjoyed the process.

Writing alt text for my artwork is so interesting and fun!

One of my students did a small research project on artist statements and visual descriptions which I’m inspired by. I wonder if visual descriptions should be written by spectators and the artist because the artist may see it differently.

As a former Manitoban who’s been dating a Persian for 5 years - the film Universal Language was so special to us both. It re-imagines Winnipeg through cross cultural relationships, with pops of political commentary. This interview answered so many of our curiosities about the film 🫶
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE is miraculous, a funny and humane fantasy of cultural exchange — I was delighted to find Matthew Rankin as hilarious and insightful in person as I’d hoped given the intensely surreal and cinematic qualities of this wonderful film: www.rogerebert.com/interviews/i...

I've had the pleasure (and challenge) of taking on a teaching role at Emily Carr University! Currently teaching 3rd year interaction design students public sector + inclusive design 🫶

The second project is co-creation - focusing on community needs, participatory democracy and decreasing inequality

Hello 💗 it’s great to be reconnected with like-minded designers again, and so far without hostility and toxic positivity screaming in unison (like on LinkedIn) 😂

I have definitely been finding it harder to get excited about our profession but think that was mainly from a fractured community
