Artist Statement
A conceptual thought is usually what gets me going; many times the title is there before the picture even begins. Staying loose is important to my work and helps create elements of surprise. I love thinking differently. The sky doesn't always have to be blue or does the grass need to be green.
I use ebony pencil, adding radiant dyes and overlaying pastels for additional color and texture.
