“I think working with Charcoal is magical. The vine itself is so light it seems as though it is weightless, the dust flies as the sound of its wonderful scratching against the canvas fills the air, and it melts into the canvas so quickly.Figurative work follows me and challenges me. I feel my gift is being able to capture traces of what my imagination lets go of. Then I bring out the best qualities in the lines by giving and taking away, creating a form that is at once ethereal and evanescent. In the end, I hope to create something that keeps pushing me to move forward.”
