Downtown Border People

Downtown Border People

Downtown Border People – Book “Downtown Border People” was a project initiated for a class at University of Windsor called Border Culture, taught by Dr. Lee Rodney.

Organized Nature: Part 2

This is the second set of prints in my series “Organized Nature.” The series is based on the idea of systematizing nature as expressed through leaves. The first half of the series can be found here. The series began in the United Kingdom as an ideological examination of urban planning and the human interaction with […]

Organized Nature: Part 1

“Organized Nature” is the third in my series this semester on the systematization of nature. I had some serious “artist’s block” before creating this project – being a conceptual artist has its shortcomings. This project examines the interior organizing qualities of nature as expressed through manmade means. I’ve recently become quite interested in the organizational […]

Graphic Design with Millennials in Mind

I’ve even had the opportunity to present “Marketing to Millennials” at Michigan State University and the University of Toronto Mississauga at various student leadership conferences. I developed this expertise after beginning a job with residence services at the […]

Permission to Grow: Canadian Edition

“Permission to Grow” developed during my semester in England as a critical analysis of the relationship between humans and the natural world. The idea centred around the complex narrative formed by the natural world in an urban context as set in Canada and Britain. Initially my work was entirely set in England, naturally creating a […]

Studio Work in England – 2013

“Permission to Grow” was a series that began during my study abroad semester in England at University of Hertfordshire. The idea was born out of a fascination I developed with the complexities of English bureaucracy in the context of its interaction with the natural environment. English government has a reputation for being heavily complex and […]
