Artist Statement: 

Drawing is the "Lucy" of art.  It is the source of all two dimensional expression.  Drawing is the precursor of all written language. If you want to see how an artist thinks look at her drawings.

I believe in the craft and trust the ingenious expression that only drawing can convey. Fascination with the human condition as shown in the everyday movement, weight, tension, ease and torque of the body is my constant and continuing inspiration. All the art I make, drawing, painting or collage, is an exploration of how the spirit inhabits the body.  What does it mean to be human? Can I portray it with a few strokes in only a few minutes? The exploration is lifelong, endlessly fascinating, always challenging.
