Fashion design was her first career subsequent to studying Visual and Creative Arts at St. Lawrence College. After several years with her own label her interest evolved into fine art. An alumna from the Ontario College of Art & Design University, she was awarded the Ontario Arts Council Visual Artists Emerging Grant, and she was a semi-finalist in the Royal Bank of Canada Canadian Painting Competition. She exhibits in Boston, Miami, New York and Toronto. Her paintings are held in private and corporate collections in the United States and Canada.
