Artist Statement
Drawing is a way of making sense of the environment around me. In this body of work, I process a range of emotions and experiences through pastel drawings. Photographs are used as a starting point, but the drawing process brings the image to life. Memories inform the style and energy of the piece, whether it's looser or more specific and rendered. Depending on how I’m feeling, the drawing process can be long and pensive or more quick and spontaneous. Layers of pastel embed my every choice and decision, creating a final product rich in color, energy, and emotion. Rendering life’s complexities can require great attention to detail, though there must be room for chaos and passion. So much of life is in the in-between—the quality time spent with loved ones or the peace that comes with solitude. Here, I share a collage of memories with the viewer, forming a scrapbook containing moments of vulnerability, grief, joy, love, and meaningful relationships. My hope is that this work prompts the viewer to confront their own experiences and understand that art is an integrated process fundamental to our humanity.
