I often mix pattern with organic shapes. Leaves, flowers, stems and branches become the vehicles for patterns of all kinds. Fun, surprising, ironic.
Again, I do not want my drawings to be plagued with editorial complexities, but rather, overrun with sincerity.
I wish for viewers to pause, appreciate, get drawn in by the materials, step back, look at the work as a whole and, simple say, that’s beautiful. If the work evokes a memory or a conversation, then fantastic, but the first reaction should always be a calm, cathartic exhale.
Materials are primarily colored pencils and acrylic paint on paper.
