Rendering in pen and ink is the specific vehicle for the imagery found in this series. Subtlety and symbolism are emphasized by a medium that trades color for rich tone and texture.

I am inspired by the relevance of solitary moments, as if capturing memories I have never experienced. This work is encouraged by old world etchings of dreamy narratives and ancient places—all finding form in the limitations of ink on paper.
