Artist Statement

I wrote and illustrated my first story in grade eight E.S.L. It was not until I was twenty three that I would begin to incorporate writing and illustration into my art practice. My first project was the editing and assembly of “The Burning Man Diaries”, a zine booklet based on collective experiences of four young men, traveling to the Burning Man Festival in Black Rock desert, Nevada.

The following year I wrote “In the Grange” and “In the Firkin”. Each was just over 1000 words with ten ballpoint and India ink pen illustrations . The stories were self published as zines in 2003 through to 2006, and distributed through The Vendart Project. Over one hundred and fifty copies of each story were distributed in Toronto and New York City.

Writing stories has opened up many other creative projects including mask making as part of my creative development in storytelling.
