Artist Statement: Traveling Series

       The beginning of my creative journey began as I reread the story books I enjoyed as a child. God planted an image of a squid ship into my head and gave me more visions of child-like fantasies.
       My series is a reflection of my faith and life journey; my illustrations are inspired by personal experiences with God during times of trouble.
      Using my experience with realism, I used graphite, creating soft and dark values on smooth Arches paper. My ability to combine realism and fantasy allows me to create surreal images, therefore allowing viewers to submerge themselves into these drawings and to see a reflection of themselves in my series.
He is capable of guiding in our journeys even when we feel utterly alone and lost.
