My
process,I work primarily in ballpoint using col-erase light blue and red underneath to give texture to the lines. The addition of gesso makes for wild hues and the occasional application of plain rubbing alcohol creates an array of purples.
My process involves sitting in front of a blank sheet and allowing myself to relax restrictions so that I can
'
draw'
without getting bogged down inventing false concept or focusing on a preconceived image. The results are fluid, dreamlike psycho-sexual 'surrealist' images. These images are often fueled by my fascinations with sex, biology and anatomy.
I live in Santa Rosa, California. Thank you for your interest.
