Artist Statement
There is an intimacy and closeness to be had with a subject when all superficial constructs are stripped away and you face the essence of the subject. In my drawings I attempt to bring out this essence and let viewers connect intimately and passionately with the subject. By exclusively working with pen and black ink and using only very fine black lines for all shading and tones, my drawings exploit the dynamic expressive and almost magical power of a simple line to express the deepest emotions and takes viewers on a journey of exploration to connect with the subject at a deeper level.
