My drawing style comes from the grand tradition of doodling. The smooth, gentle roll of a pen across the pulpy texture of paper is meditative and soothing. It’s the marks we make in the margins while our focused minds are elsewhere I find most interesting. Most of the work is improvisational, with no intended outcome – only hopeful surprises. There are; however, embedded intentional dichotomies to create a playground of visual cues and possible meaning. When I was in art school I would take my abstract drawings to my peers and ask, “What would you title this?” That simple question activated my friend's imagination and engagement in ways that really excited me. When I began posting drawings online with the simple caption, “Title Me,” imaginative, creative, and inspirational titles poured in. It's been 20+ years. I collect all titles, and make selections whenever the work is shown.
