"The process of drawing provides me a certain freedom to explore a variety of visual subjects.

The organic drawings are all about creating fresh, new imagery. While some traditional ideologies apply here, such as the process of "automatic drawing" and the idea of tapping the sub-conscious, mostly it is for discovering personal imagery.

The synthetic drawings on the other hand, use more defined parameters. While these works are still somewhat spontaneous, the emphasis is on a set concept or idea.

The Hybrids are a result of what happens when I combine these separate worlds. Placing different imagery into the same space or mixing them together I often create a fresh, unique drawing. Sometimes the images seem to go together smoothly, other times they feel almost wedged together—taught with tension, both are intriguing to me.

Drawing as an intimate place, where I allow myself the freedom to try anything I can imagine. Drawing as a place where it's okay to make "mistakes" or decisions that are not linear, nor necessarily logical. Drawing as a place where I am free to fuse ideas and forms that inform and nourish other bodies of work in the process."
