WE WERE HERE (2025): The sudden death of Sophie Breen led her mother, writer Mary Fairhurst Breen, to create WE WERE HERE, a writing and film project that offers a glimpse into the shortened lives of just eleven of thousands of Ontarians who have been killed by fentanyl in recent years. None made it to 30; some didn’t make it to adulthood. I made the art for the films for each of these people - Alex, Austin, Brock, Destin, Hilary, Katie, Sophie, Madalyn, Nathan, Ula and Zach. With every unnecessary death there is a gaping hole where there was once a human being who was deeply loved. Fine art prints and calendars from these animations are available in my Curio Shop and 20% of sales are donated to Street Health.
