I'm a freelancer who specializes in various styles and types of visual arts ranging from drawing, painting, illustration, sketching, paper crafting, and more! I am a Deaf Trans Dad of two children with disabilities and art has always been my lifesaver. It is my tool for communication as my parents couldn’t communicate with me properly and drawing was my way to express. I didn’t talk til I started school and turned 5 years old. In my hometown up North, art is lacking a lot and I couldn’t go far. A lot of people loved my art but the business aspect of art is horrible there and I wasn’t budging anywhere, with all the artwork I’ve done. The people in business did help me but only could help a bit, and art galleries are dying, the art club have their own type of people and the exposure is limited! Since moving to Ottawa in 2020, I seen how much more opportunities there are and I will be honest that I don’t know where to start! But what I do know is that I would love to be a full time artist at home to be the best dad I can be, a great well-known artist and that my passion is my career which will lead me to my dream goals!
