I am a non-binary (She/They), pansexual, polyamorous, multimedia freelance artist living in Edmonton, Alberta who has an odd obsession with sex education, sex positivity, feminism, and art. With my art, I hope to help you feel good about expressing a sexier you.

In school, I took as many art-related classes as I could, even taking some multiple times just to always have new challenges and projects to work on.

In grade 9 I made the top 10 of a No-Smoking Poster Design Contest for the City of Edmonton. In high school, I became one of two student photographers and received scholarships from J. Percy Page and The Alexander Rutherford Scholarship for my school-related volunteer activities and grades. In 2008 I took Design Foundations at Grant MacEwan College but did not complete the certificate due to external issues that kept me from continuing.

As a person who spent a lot of my 20’s learning about who I am at my core, I also began learning about people and how we operate our relationships. I noticed we copied what we saw in media, even though those relationships were designed to be unstable for our entertainment. My friends would mimic what they saw thinking those were the appropriate responses for their own relationship problems when that really only left them with poor communication skills and less overall satisfaction in their lives. When I came out to my family and friends I began talking about what I had learned in my journey to be great at polyamory and they actually listened. Since then I’ve been looking for ways to share that information with others so that they can also improve their relationships. The obvious answer was through art, and the communities I already have around me.

For the last 15 years, I have been a regular in the local convention community as both an artist and a staff member. I have participated in events all over Alberta and have staffed with Animethon in different roles since 2011. The evolution of the art scene has led me to open Print on Demand shops with Redbubble and Spoonflower, as well as a shop on Etsy (2021). Through these means, I hope to change the way you talk with your partner(s), the way you feel about expressing a sexier you, and I hope to improve the way you look at your own sexual health practices and not feel shame in your overall pleasure, care, and health.

Please take a moment to view my shops, or contact me to commission a unique original piece that will boost your confidence or inspire your journey.
