2003-2004 Participated in four group exhibitions of undergraduate work at various UBC Galleries.
2004 and earlier : Exhibited work in many different gallery shows in conjunction with the University of British Columbia. This included two photography exhibitions, two sculptural/installation exhibitions, a fiber-arts exhibition, and several more. Mediums of the art works exhibited include: digital art, textile art, darkroom photography, digital photography, and installation sculpture with screen-printing.
Involved in organizing the graduate show entitled Misc.conceptions and played an integral role in the production and creation of the Misc.conceptions catalogue.
That takes place in person, online, and in dark corners and alleys throughout select cities, with a primary focus in the cities of Montreal and Vancouver. Quotes of life lessons learned are gathered by the artist and collaborators (anyone who wants to help), from which phrases are selected and one at a time are made into "night light" installations throughout the city. It may become someone's light in the night.
