American painter, Harvey Dunn, said that a line said that “the character, position, and weight of an object are in the edge.” Like Mr. Dunn, I see lines everywhere I look. And every one of them- from the sharp shine of a mustang muffler, to the deep crinkle of a grandfather’s smile- tells a story.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve understood the world in terms of lines and stories. That’s why I feel most at home with pencils, ink, and illustration. I love the magic of storytelling, and the labor of precision. I love the careful craft of line after line, revision after revision. I love burying myself in the meticulous shading of a tiny, square inch, and stepping back to enjoy the grand picture of every inch put together.
Lines and story - this is my true artistic passion.
