CURRENT PUBLIC ART & INSTALLATION PROJECTS

 I have had the honour of working in public art since 2017. I have held roles as a curator, as a selection panel member, as a cultural advisor, and as an artist. I have enjoyed the collaborative and collective nature of the work and I appreciate that public art is rooted in building partnerships and uplifting the community.


The following projects are my work as an artist in public art & installation.

YTZ Billy BISHOP AIRPORT | PERSPECTIVES 2025

The Perspectives public art program showcases local artistic talent on a large scale in the pedestrian tunnel of the passenger terminal at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Every six months, there are new works on display, and feature artists and their unique perspectives on Toronto’s vibrant cultures, neighbourhoods, attractions and environment. My artwork will be on display until December 2025.

            Concord Sky Public Art Program | Nature in Concord


            This piece is a narrative about community.  In the canopy of a tree is a symphony of different beings, all intertwined and living as one. Creatures who live in balance alongside one another in a commentary on the importance of community.  Together in a hoop made of roots, which represents not only the tree that all this life is residing and thriving in, but also expresses the importance of creating roots in community that will allow for people and families to grow stronger
