Artist Statement
Dreaming and drawing to me are two of the same. When I dream I’m apart of a world my imagination creates and when I draw I create a world from what my imagination formulates. Most of what I draw are memories and objects from my past, specifically my childhood. These images make up the majority of the narrative that surrounds the main character,a favorite dinosaur of mine also from my past.
The narrative materializes when I do the detail of the dinosaur’s body. I become incredibly focused on drawing the texture of the skin, it’s almost as if I slip into a trance. At this point I put the pencil to paper and begin to draw an object and a secondary character. When this occurs, I almost immediately envision the narrative. From there, my imagination simply pores out onto the paper.
