I find it particularly enjoyable when artwork conveys an emotional response from the viewer. A film, painting or drawing should engage the audience to think of an idea, a feeling, or the unlimited possibilities that we as individuals or as a society have.

I am presently working on developing my own style in both traditional and digital media, and searching for my voice in my artwork.

 My paintings have been in shown in Toronto and Mississauga. My two short animated films “Shadows on the Wall” and “Dare to Dream” have been to Festivals in Canada and US.

 “Shadows on the Wall” was nominated for Best First Animated Short at the Animazing Spotlight Festival.

In 2009, I finished a BAA in Animation with Honours from Sheridan College. Previously, I graduated from U of Lisbon with a BA in Geography, and from U of Toronto with a M.Sc.in Planning.  

Presently, I am the sole proprietor of MAAD Productions, a member of Visual Arts Mississauga, Raindance Canada, TIFF, LIFT and I am an organizing member of the Figurative Expressions Group.
