“Over time, my drawing practice has grown into a deeply reflective and intimate experience.
Feeling and sensing my way into a strangely familiar but unknown land, exhilarating and tentative simultaneously, a tiny forward motion, a touching of, a listening to, and sometimes, an incredible knowing in the bones.
My practice demands that the whole of myself turns up for the gig, doing the necessary work learning how to live and grow in relationship to another. “
