Developing my dream vocabulary through drawing creates a critical link between my inner thoughts and outward visual language. The resulting Narratives are the manifest extension of my artist self progressively realized to new degrees. They allow me to explore perceived freedoms in feeling simultaneously always alone and never alone. Themes of love, home, domesticity, and messengers float just below the surface of this personal world. It is self-portraiture at a different level, showing what exists beyond the gaze.
