My art questions what a drawing is and how it can affect thinking. Works are composed of marks that are signs of time and, referencing artist Avis Newman, thought. I take an interdisciplinary approach to expand the concept of drawing that includes installation, works on paper, and photography. Eastern philosophy, time,  architecture, and the everyday are influences. I work responsively between all of these entities. That is where experimentation happens and the medium opens to what it can be.  

In The Garden (Shadow Happenings) series, I trace sunlight as it interacts with garden plants  Marking light fluctuations allows one to observe what is happening beyond the foliage. It immerses one in the garden’s textures, fragrances, and colors to expand the experience. As the wind blows the hand delineates movements of the petals and leaves. After several hours of marking, the drawing becomes a record of moments spent.
