LINE WORK

​

ILLUSTRATION IS VISUAL STORYTELLING, A WAY TO CAPTURE THE SURREAL FORM in which THE CONSCIOUS + SUBCONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE UNFOLDS. 

 

I USE DRAWING & PAINTING AS a visual translation of my inner dialogue.

 

illustration offers a way to capture an otherwise ephemeral emotional moment in time, giving it a canvas on which to stand still.

​

The narrative most constant in my work is that of the feminine human experience: translations of joy + passion or pain + grief.

 

drawing is my preferred outlet to translate difficult emotions, dream imagery, or to loosen up my grip and move into the surreal realm.

​

great influences on my style over the years have been the works of hilma af kilnt, salvador dalí, lee bontecou, alphonsé mucha, georgia o'keeffe, & frederick franck, among many.
