I'm an independent curator based in Toronto, working at the intersection of site-specific installation, public art, and ephemerality. My practice focuses on commissioning outdoor artworks that embrace transformation, decay, and impermanence—not as effects, but as core materials. I believe that by foregrounding the temporary and the vulnerable, we can challenge dominant narratives in contemporary art that privilege permanence, collectability, and institutional legitimacy.
Since 2021, I’ve run Garden Variety, an ongoing backyard exhibition series in Toronto’s west end. The project provides space for emerging and established artists to create site-responsive installations that unfold outside of traditional gallery systems. Inspired by the form of the community BBQ, Garden Variety exhibitions often take place over a single afternoon and emphasize informal gathering, shared experience, and embodied engagement with the artwork.
My curatorial work questions how meaning is created, transmitted, and preserved—especially outside institutional archives. I’m interested in the tension between what is celebrated as 'art' and what is dismissed as seasonal, decorative, or too fleeting to matter. I aim to complicate this divide by presenting works that resist commodification and exist on their own temporal terms.
From 2023–24, I was the Public Programmes & Learning Fellow at MOCA Toronto, where I organized workshops, curated performances, and developed the museum’s Youth Council to centre accessibility, experimentation, and artist-led dialogue. Prior to that, I was the Curatorial Resident at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, where I curated an exhibition exploring feminist memory work and intergenerational collaboration. I hold a Master of Visual Studies in Curatorial Studies from the University of Toronto, where my research focused on site-responsive, ephemeral, and ecologically engaged practices.
