Since childhood, I have loved creating a magical world of alluring queens, whimsical fairies, and other strange creatures that appear in my imagination. I am drawn to the cavernous forest, its trees having surrounded my home in Antigonish for the better part of my life, and have always envisioned an enchanted and serene world radiating from even the darkest corners of everyday life. I love reading stories and showing stories in my artwork. For me, the most important thing about reading books is to be able to escape to different worlds, to learn, and to expand your mind. I love the fact that a new book can expose you to something that you never experienced or ever thought possible. Magic is the underlying focus in the piece, and its purpose is to inspire curiosity to explore all the different stories the library has to offer. Anything you read can be real if you let it.
