Bio
Artist Statement
| My drawings are a meeting ground for my inner and outer worlds. Creating these drawings touches many parts of me, releasing anxiety and discharging the strong emotions that I felt over two loses in my life. I combine abstraction with realism as the basis for my compositions and to express the essence of each subject. Working with graphite pencil helps me produce a dramatic effect where the graphite becomes more than simply representing the subject. I rely heavily on contrast and textual variation of graphite to create an emotional impact. I continue to explore and express my feelings through my drawings, making the unconscious conscious. By drawing from within I find the inner peace that I seek. |
