I am thrilled to share this collection with you. I enjoy doing line work because it challenges me to see the subject as simply as possible - lines, curves and shapes. However, when I am finished, I am left seeing a powerful representation of humanity, our frailty, and the question of what we are to do with ourselves as we call each day today. Throughout the collection you will find a focused interest in posture, movement and powerful pauses. I hope you enjoy the collection as much as I do.
