I am an abstract artist, currently working primarily with Faber Castell Artist PITT pens but also occasionally working with Oil Paints and Acrylics. I was exposed to drawing while I was only 4 years old and became fascinated with drawing faces and human bodies. I explored art throughout my elementary school years earning my best grades in Art classes. When I was in my early teens my artwork was chosen to be applied as a mural on an outdoor pool wall in Kwantlen Park, Surrey BC. During my grade 8-9 school years I became interested in typography constantly trying to replicate the logotypes of my favorite heavy metal bands. In grade 12 I was accepted into a limited enrollment Advanced Art Studies program at Queen Elizabeth Sr. Secondary School. I went on to study Fine Arts in college at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and earned the equivalent of a Fine Arts Certificate. I used the artwork created there to enroll in Kwantlen's Interdisciplinary Design Certificate program and used all of my previous works to gain entry to a selective entry Graphic Design course at the same college.
