Zoomed in shot of "Pattern Interrupt". 2020. Size: 32" x 40" / Micron pens on archival museum board. This piece was all drawn freehand - no rulers or measuring tools were used to create this artwork.

Pen and ink drawing of the buildings on the Graslei in Ghent (Belgium).

Original 8”x10” ink and pencil on sketch pad paper. For an upcoming series of paintings, I think.

some of my older portrait sketches :)

Zoomed in shot of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead". Created in 2012. Size: 22” x 30” / Micron Pens on Archival Paper. This piece was all drawn freehand - no rulers or measuring tools were used to create this artwork. 2019 kinda looked like this. It had a lot going on. Lots of changes. A close friend of mine predicted 2019 would be "The year of change", and she was right… at least up in my neck of the woods. Anyway, it has been full of good, fun and challenging things – all worth while. Excited to dive into 2020.

Carriage horse w/ tack done in pencil. Finally finished it! Let me know what you think (and if you have any suggestion for my next project)!

Colored inks.

An excercise in negative painting with my set of bister inks. I wasn't completely happy with the results - the bister ink was not as transparent as i expected it to be.

Graphite.
