Born in Vancouver and grew up in the West End.I liked Art class and stayed up way too late painting and drawing in my room,missing Math class in the morning.Painted with acrylic on paper and cardboard, sometimes canvas board.Heavily influenced by late night movies and post-punk brit music.Started going to all ages punk gigs,dyed my hair when I was an extra (called a Skunk) in the punk movie "Ladies and Gentlemen,The Fabulous Stains". Met artist/musicians the Braineaters (punk/glamour) and worked as an assistant painting,sanding and masking. Started a band with my girlfriend Sacha Moisewitsch.Kill Pussycat Kill,two girls-guitar and bass.We played our first show at the Unit Pit Gallery with I,Braineater (aka Jim Cummins) and the Last Sex on Earth.Designed t-shirts and posters,played shows with Frightwig, Bratty and the Babysitters,and the Scramblers. Sacha's mother,artist Carel Moisewitsch's colourful ,anarchistic illustrations of punks and goths spurred us on.

I had my first exhibit in a vintage clothing store¼s glass display case. In a 3x6x10 foot space,I hung sheets of paper painted with glamour icons,Marlene Dietrich,Carole Lombard and Veronica Lake etc. Paper Dolls Later, I included paintings on cardboard of comic book heroines and b-movie dames in the display. I worked in a rep-movie theatre and continued to paint movie queens and ad art from cinema.I also worked as a production assistant on student horror film projects Baltek, Cancerman, Rapid Eye Movement and a number of rock videos.Started working on stretched canvas and showed a piece in a group show at the artist ås (12 Midnite and Anya Slade) run Smash Gallery in Gastown. Formed a new band with filmmaker and partner Marcus Rogers,Stevo Knauff and Ian Tiles called COAL ,wrote songs and did the cover art for a Cd release. Performed in galleries,clubs and theatres (Ridge Theatre,Arts Club Revue) around town.Custom designed and painted on jackets and clothing under the tag Original Sin. In 1993,put on a one-woman show at POP! Media/ Culture titled Exotic Exit with paintings and a musical performance by COAL.Music became my primary focus for awhile,playing, recording, songwriting and producing 6 music videos for the band.

Slid back into painting for the SPACE show at the HR Macmillan Planetarium art and music event. Participated in Vancouver's first LowBrow group show at the Gastown live music venue/gallery, the Brickyard. Joined forces with artists Vicki M. and Arlene Kofol,to show strictly female subjects,the Painted Ladies.
As a team,known as the POPTARTS,the three of us continued to show paintings of women in the Villainess show at the Moonbase Gallery and then exhibitions: Smells Like Female Women in Music,Love Hurts at the Brickyard.Future plans included an invasion via the Internet,I developed a website for The PopTarts.In 2001 the PopTarts (now minus 1) Vicki M. and Nicole opened the Tart Gallery in the back of Zulu Records on 4th avenue in Vancouver.After a year and half the Tart Gallery closed it's doors but continued as a curatorial force.The POPTARTS hosted two all female group shows in the Fall of 2002 in conjunction with the release of a book Vicious,Delicious and Ambitious:20th Century Women Artists by Sherri Cullison published by Schiffer Books.13 artists(including the PopTarts)from the book were exhibited in Toronto and Vancouver.As well Vicki and I were invited to show in the "Ladies of Lowbrow" shows at Copro Nason and La Luz De Jesus in Los Angeles and at the erotic gallery Blue Ruin in Pittsburgh,PA.The PopTarts appear in the art documentary "LOWDOWN ON LOWBROW" by Marcus Rogers airing on Bravo Tv in Canada.
