The idea of fashion as a portrait of a woman’s identity, social class, self-image and socio-political forces underpins all that I do. Using a variety of media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, needlework, installation and photography, the common thread that underlies my artwork is fashion as a social commentary.
I have a studio in downtown Toronto and am represented by Loop Gallery. Several of my pieces are in corporate and institutional collections. I also have worked as a research assistant for a museum curator of Costume and Textiles.
I contribute articles to Fashion Projects, Costume Society Journal and have been published in other journals, including The Globe & Mail, Worn and Vintage & Modern. My photos have appeared in the Toronto Star and Burda Publications. In October 2011, I was the keynote speaker at the Costume Society of America mid-west conference in Iowa. In July 2012, I will speak at the Fashion Tales 2012 conference in Milan on The Metaphysics of Blogging.
