Born in Ottawa, Ontario. Living in London, Ontario and currently enrolled in my final year at the Florence Academy of Art(Florence Branch). Born to a Madeiran father and Italian mother. As a child I was always drawing people from imagination, cartoons and animals, but it wasn’t until my grandfather handed me a book on Michelangelo that I really knew that I wanted to make academic, figurative artwork. I dropped out of my art history degree in University to chase a dream of studying in Florence, Italy. I’ve been oil painting for about a two years now thanks to the Academy
