Drawing and Painting

“Emotion and memory are observed through everyday experience and represented through a combination of observational and abstract methods. Representational drawings and paintings often morph into atmospheric abstractions, bridging the gap between what was seen and what was felt (tangible/intangible). Through this process, I seek to understand the complexities of memory and its relationship to the senses.”
