A short history

Kitchener Artist and Tailor, I have a basic art and sewing background from high school but am mostly self taught, supplementing my skills with courses here and there.

I had the great fortune to move to Italy and live there for 6 years where I learned how to sew under my Nonna and 2 aunts that were seamstresses. While in Italy, I discovered Comics and manga which captivated me both for the artwork and stories. I have been greatly influenced by manga artists Naoko Takeuchi and Norihiro Yagi (creators of sailor moon and claymore respectively) while still maintaining my own style.

No medium is too great, I have used every thing from water colours to pencil crayons and fabric to sculpey to make countless creations, thought I have yet to make the jump to digital.


Last year I opened my own business Ice Phoenix Art where everything from illustrations to full costumes can be purchased or commissioned.

I am also currently working on my debut graphic novel Deadly Nightshade with hope to have a preview if not the first volume in print the end of this year.
