of ink and seafoam
Growing up as a queer kid in rural Ontario, I spent most of my youth in the outdoors with my face stuck between the pages of books, immersing myself in different worlds and becoming inspired by fictional characters - dreaming that one day, I would conjure up a world of my own.
It was in 2020, during the worldwide pandemic, that I began creating my own artwork. Focusing on watercolour and line art, I was commissioned for several projects such as watercolour portraits, book cover designs, logo designs, and illustrations for poetry novels.
It was shortly after that when I got the opportunity from one of my close friends, Devon Attaei, to co-author a poetry novel. I was nervous, to say the least, but I knew this had been the opportunity I'd been waiting for. At this time, I was experiencing a lot of turbulence in my personal life, and poetry became the perfect outlet for my complicated emotions. I spent months pouring my feelings out onto paper, piecing together over 100 poems and illustrations. This collection is titled TEMPORARY FOREVER, and is my first published work.
I am incredibly proud of TEMPORARY FOREVER and am blown away by the support I've received online. I am so glad my words have resonated with so many others around the world.
At the moment, I am working on my very first fiction novel and continuing to search for all creative opportunities.
