I'm an emerging interdisciplinary artist that combines bold expressive abstract acrylic paintings, web interactives, accessible & rhythmic poetry, and video performance art to explore themes of loss, belonging, grief, and spontaneity.
In addition to my lived experiences, my practice is informed by my academic and professional experiences in psychology and artificial intelligence (Master’s in AI, Queen’s, 2021). In 2022 as a Professor of Applied Computer Science & IT, I won a teaching award for my innovative approach to assessment for my use of co-creation in the classroom dismantling the traditional power hierarchy and engaging students meaningfully in assessment. Co-creation is a key principle in my design work. I’m excited to continue to bring AI and technology infused art to community settings. I am also an Expressive Arts Practitioner (Ontario Expressive Arts Therapy Association) with a focus in black wellness.
