Artist Statement

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso

I use the tools of childhood (pencils, crayons, paper), while recalling and ignoring the formal theories I learned at school.

Adult sober intellect drives my body to respond with childlike activity, forcing my self to recognize and follow the contradiction.

For me, drawing is a visceral experience and a meditation.

My abstractions are born of thoughts that come to me through the day, usually at first awakening. Often the thought is simply a line or a negative space that I choose to follow with my hand.
