My art pieces are therapy works that hold deep meaning, sharing life's joy & pain, using scavenged materials.

I create mainly therapy pieces, many relating to personal trauma & grief in a way that is colorful, darkly humorous & thought-provoking.
Where do you find inspiration?I have a strong sense of empathy & find inspiration in love for my family, friends & humanity. I use humour in many of my works because I value the importance of love & laughter in this life.
What would you do with $25,000?Firstly, with $25,000, I would donate a portion to protecting and supporting wild salmon stocks, as I was raised on a small commercial fish boat in B.C. Canada, & This is an important cause to me that is near & dear to my heart. I would also donate to a women's shelter & towards helping the homeless.I would take my beautiful mother on a vacation to Hawaii. She has always wanted to go & I have always wanted to help her dreams come true. With anything leftover, I would buy myself some tattoos.
