Marks on paper.

Drawing is where everything starts for an artist. Sketching, drafting, and gesturing a composition is what creates the bones for a successful piece. Still, drawing is so much more because there are limitless approaches. I use drawings to plan my printmaking and paintings, but I like to let my drawings evolve and grow into images that I never planned. They are rhythms based on the arc of my wrist, patterns that repeat imperfectly within the paper that contains them. I find ways to give up control and let the drawings evolve into their own guided by intuition and the quality of the paper and drawing media itself.
