Black and white drawings of figures caught in vivid, uncanny situations.
I create black and white drawings of figures caught in vivid, uncanny situations. Each piece is a fragment of a larger mystery, and taps into our hardwired attraction to storytelling.
My artistic practice draws from my long-standing interest in archaic tales, myths, and symbols; as well as the surrealists and symbolists whose vision, like mine, comes from their imagination.
The current series consists of over 70 folio-scale drawings.
2024 - present Narrative Drawings. Ongoing series, 70+ works. Ink on Bristol, folio scale.
