What started as a way to hone my craft as an artist, soon became an obsession to explore the composition and movement of the figure. The model, regardless of gender, age, or body type, represented me and what I was going through during that period of time.
Am I enough?
What am I doing with my life?
I am alone. I want to be alone.
The messiness of my crowded mind translated to the drawings. These compositions were my inner conversation with myself. At times the density of the figures overlapping represented the overwhelmed crowded thoughts I had, while the more spacious compositions symbolized the more space in my mind.
This collection of drawings I chose to sell as prints and merch represents only a few out of hundreds of drawings I've created over the years.
My goal for this store is to make my art accessible. I believe my art shares a common and curious self inquiry that is relatable. The overlapping figure and emotions represent the movement and thought of our minds.
Thank you for your support.
