Artist's Statement

My work mostly consists of drawings made with various pencils and pens or ink. I enjoy the control in knowing exactly what I put onto the paper. The ability to have precision but also having the ability to do spastic or spontaneous motions on paper allows me to make my ideas become more than just an image put on paper. I enjoy making works which show some kind of controversy or conflict along with a sense of surrealism and fantasy; by including these unreal aspects to the straight forward it makes a more interesting way of portraying the message. Having the conflict be less clear allows for the viewer to be open to how they think about the subject, this is what I hope to accomplish through my work.
