The Art I Live

I work with movement and form to distill experiences into tangible reminders of fleeting joy, capturing the essence of moments rather than making static images.

My drawings break through habitual thought patterns, serving as tools for personal regeneration and connection to our core humanity. The work is an archive of resilience, guiding us through crisis and reflection without judgment.

Drawing is a form of medicine—a practice of seeing, accepting, and reimagining the structures of our lives.

Resonant Whispers Collection

These titles reflect the philosophers Deleuze and Guattari's ideas on multiplicity, rhizomatic structures, becoming, and the interconnectedness of thought and being.
In this collection of drawings on paper, each piece unfolds like a storyboard of time, capturing moments of thought and feeling with the soft animal that is my body. They call out to fellow beings over and over to remind them of the patterns of present moments that is living. 
These works, rendered in ink on 8.5x11 inch acid free paper, draw you into a world where the boundaries between the seen and unseen blur. Keats wrote, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.” And yet in the speed of the modern world we do seem to forget, at least temporarily - my drawings, the act and the object, serve as reminders, touchstones to that “joy…that loveliness”. This can support our reconnection to the eternal. 
These are not just drawings; they are meditations in ink, each one a portal to a different realm of thought, a reflection of the artist’s inner landscape, and an invitation for you to explore your own. As you journey through this collection, allow yourself to linger in the spaces between the lines, where the true meaning lies waiting to be discovered.

Testimonial

I am a layperson when it comes to visual art, but I would say that the work inspires me in the sense that I value being in the "company" of your art when I have time to be creative/musical. I studied jazz piano in college. I am not a professional musician, but I perform occasionally around the city.

Your work makes me feel connected to a larger creative universe.
