A walk begins by taking a step, then another, followed by another. Each step takes you further from you began. My drawings are no different. Each mark is like the first steps placed on paper. I start with the first mark and then take another. Along these lines, Paul Klee noted, “A drawing is simply a line going for a walk." For me, each drawing comes from within, somewhere deep and intuitive. Each additional step is a choice to continue and each mark adds to those I have already placed. My imagery arises from my life experiences; they accumulate, expand, simmer, and distill all within my mind. My desire to learn, to know and to see the curious in everyday life fuels my existence.
