Her work is intricate, critical, and unsettling, and demonstrates her dedication to research, concept, and craftsmanship. Sapphire holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons.) from the University of Manitoba School of Art. She works in collections management and art handling for local galleries and institutions. She is in love with and troubled by: history, bodies, words, and living. Her biggest inspirations are women, religion, and horror.
