This summer is the culmination of 2 years of advanced visual studies resulting in a gallery show in August. I am documenting my processes, thoughts and compositions, as a way to keep me focussed. My work emphasizes parts our bodies, physically and emotionally through line, color, and texture.

At some point, the barriers need to come down...
I never really thought this work would affect me, physically. Several weeks ago I tried to draw the rib cage. It was not working out, I kept starting over, until giving up. In talking about this, I realized how it made me feel, constricted, confined, captive. I was resisting the drawing because if the emotions I was experiencing while drawing it. As I enjoy a challenge, I decided to go back to this and try again, from a different approach. Once I made the decision to not draw both the left and the right side it became much easier for me, and I am pleased with the composition and use of space.
