I make installation art for festivals, clubs and events

A few years back I got inspired by seeing the art at Burning Man and wanted to give it a try and see what I could make. I reached out to the local burning man community and got involved with building the effigy for their reginal event. At the time it was the largest art contract I have taken on, and it required more space and equipment than I had access to. That is when I discovered Fuse33. They were very welcoming, and with the help of their laser cutter and other equipment, I built a 30-foot-tall man which we spectacularly burnt to the ground.
Once I started at Fuse33 I got hooked and have been going there regularly, learning, building, and making things. The biggest impact on my career is not the tools and equipment, but the community. Since that first project, I have met many people at fuse that have inspired me, and helped me to learn and grow. Whether it is from seeing the beautiful things that they make, by sharing their knowledge, or by hiring them directly it seems like there has always been someone at fuse to help me overcome the challenges as they come up. During my time at Fuse33 I have learned and grown so much as an artist/maker that before COVID I was planning a multi-city tour with my latest pieces, but since the pandemic hit, my regular work stopped, but I have still been busy making art; my largest project being six light up sculpture in downtown Calgary for 3 weeks.
With the support of the Fuse33 community, I am ready to take this to the next level and turn my passion into a career. Not something I would have believed possible when I came in with that first project.

Become part of a community where creation and collaboration are the heart of everything we do. Fuse33 was conceived out of the need for artists and makers to use a space with professional-level equipment without the hug up-front cost.
