Artist’s Statement & CV

Drawing makes me feel honest. Drawing makes me feel vulnerable. Drawing can sometimes make me feel brave. Drawing is how I’m trying to talk to you. Where you and I might connect, maybe somewhere in a drawing. Lately I often draw a narrative, or at least an implied narrative. I’m dyslexic, I often can’t trust what I’m seeing is actually what I’m seeing. Historically most of my work manipulates the viewers’ experience optically in both subtle and overt ways. I’ve been focusing on monochromatic graphite and graphite powder drawings. My hope is that less is more.
