I am a published Author and Artist. I have had my artwork in art galleries and short stories published in anthologies. As well as won awards in school-wide contests for my art projects.
I have been creating art in mixed media since I as a child. And writing short stories since I was a teenager. It all started with pencil crayons, paper and a typewriter. As I grew up, I tried different forms of art media. Such as animation, desktop publishing, website design and graphic design. In college, updated my skills to other digital media like coding, digital art and interactive designs. As well as continuing with traditional ways. My favourite being pencil crayons and marker mixed media.
My dream job is to work at either a video game company, an animation studio or both. I love creating art in all forms of media, so others areas of design interests me as well.
I received a traumatic brain and spinal cord injury years back (MVA by others). I have seizures, spinal cord damage and chronic pain so I pace myself. I use assistive technology. I do finish all my commissions. I continue my art projects as a form of brain and eye physio/ retraining.

the studio
I started my studio online over 20 years ago. Besides digital art, I also use polymer clay, marker and pencil crayon. My past client list have included: some large and small business’. Charity work and volunteering. I have knowledge in digital media including animation, audio video editing, graphic and web design.
I started my art journey back in elementary school. I took extra courses in digital media and design as well as in mixed medium. And continued with it throughout high school and college. Like animation, graphic and website design. I frequently upgrade my skills in both areas when I can.
My personal art is based on my own original anime characters, dreams and imagination. I am a vivid dreamer. With the theme of light is not always divine and darkness, evil.
Since 2002 my studio has used 3 different domains. [ gothickangel.darksites.com, gothickangel.net and gothickangel.ca ] My work has also gone under White Wolf Designz and Kreature Kollection.
