I am an artist, curator, educator, and consultant. I live on the traditional and unceded lands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, currently known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations (Victoria, BC). I was born on the traditional lands of Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee Nations (Hamilton, ON). I am a queer, genderqueer, and disabled individual. I am from Italian, Polish, German, English, and Scottish ancestry.
As a curator, I have worked with organizations such as Two Rivers Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and the National Museum of American History. As a consultant, I have worked for the BC Museums Association, the BC Government, CARFAC, and the Kennedy Centre. My artistic practices centre on social practice, textiles, and performance arts. All of my work focuses on making the arts more accessible for oppressed communities. I started engaging in accessibility and intersectionality when I started working in the arts in 2012.
My working on disabled art has been informed through intersectional communities, crip authors and artists, and personal experiences. These events have allowed me to grow and feel joy in being a disabled individual.
Artwork description 1: Overhead view of Mend To Reconstruct, a small quilt made out of beads, unframed, laying on a colourful, multi patterned fabric quilt. The art piece is a beaded version of a gingham quilt in high contrast of transparent white, metallic brown, and opaque black. A rainbow gradient of patches of “mending” are beaded across the piece. The colourful “mending” beads are primarily small with some larger round and unique shaped beads included. The purple side of the colours are on the left of the image, the red and white beaded sides on the right.
