The Crow
graphite on paper
arches 140lb cold press
7.5in x 9in
This piece was drawn as a gift to my incredible partner. The crow is picking up a heart locket, while a ghostly star figure appears in the background. I imagine that the star figure only appears when good things are happening. It is a sign of bright light in the dark landscape.

Above The Wind
graphite on paper
arches 140lb cold press
22in x 30in
I created this piece as a way to let go of some control I had over my work. Using no reference images, I wanted to know what would take shape if I just forced my hand to keep moving. Very thankful with the result, as it turned out to be one of my favorite drawings. A flying deer is looking back at the viewer proudly, protecting the worried two-headed bunny on it’s back. The deer is a doe, but its shadow is a buck. A great migration is happening.

And Don't Let Go

Is she big, or is the house small? The shape of her body rhymes with the landscape behind her, signifying that her love for this house is as large as a mountain. She is dressed for the weather because she knows she will not be letting go anytime soon. This piece is a direct reflection of how I felt moving across the country.

Folks say she’s odd. They call her “Lady Fingertoes” and laugh. This is her on a long walk away from the community. She is hopeful to make a friend soon.

Morning Routine

This piece makes me laugh. The entire time I was painting this I would burst into laughter. The figure is a sim of myself, with her green gamertag above her head. She is off duty.

Haha, Funny
graphite on gessoed wood
11in x 14in
The title “Haha Funny” might be what you text your friend after they send you something silly. The viewer turns into the cell phone, your reflection in the eyes of the beholder. Kinda creepy.
