No, I'm not done, done. Not yet. I'm just narcissistic enough to know that I'll never fully give up opportunities to pose, as I do really enjoy it and have had a lot of success over the years. At the same time, I'm just humble enough to know modeling is a hobby at this point. I'm simply getting older- as we all do.

It all started when I was 11 years old. I was scouted at my Elementary school in Victoria, BC and asked to be on the cover of a novel. Time passed, I got a much needed haircut, and just like that the opportunity was taken off the table. Just a few years later, at age 14/15, I began modeling for local photographers. Opportunities fell into my lap. Being a bit of an opportunist- I went with it.

At 16 I was scouted again by a casting agent- this time for film & TV. While it has never been my goal to be an actor, I have had many interesting bookings, and truly enjoy being on camera (silently). I'll share behind the scenes photos and clips from film work as well as publications, soon enough!

Beginning with high quality 135lb Italian paper and miscellaneous paint brushes, I lay initial acrylic washes of colour using my left hand. It is not my dominant arm, but its strength is more reliable than the other.

My right hand has more keen dexterity. I've figured it out that I can save mental energy for detail work by using my left hand for the "less important" steps in building images. Then, I work more rapidly with my dominant but neurologically-limited right arm, and a pallet knife.

It is really difficult to explain the complexity of how Multiple Sclerosis truly affects me, but I'm persevering and finding ways around obstacles day after day. When you need to make art, you find a way.
