PERSONAL PRACTICE
Within her personal practice, her drawings desire to tell a tale or to spawn anew in the minds of the viewers. She illustrates her inner most thoughts and fragments of her imagination. Familiar themes fabricated within her work include anxiety, power, vanity, deceit and degeneration. The work challenges society and culture with aims to enlighten and impact consciously or subconsciously.  The artist describes having an addictive relationship with drawing. She indulges in mark making that takes her off to another world. A fine liner archival pen is never far from her grasp.
