I begin my work simply enough with a good pen and a fresh moleskin unlined 3.5” x 5.5” sketchbook. A new moleskin comes with a reminder that it is the notebook of Picasso and Hemmingway and I must admit that their marketing works. I get excited to think that my own adventures will be documented with such prestigious company

This is my most recent body of work. I take imagery from my sketchbook, drawn from my travels across the US and Europe to my own backyard and recombine them, in collage form. I then go back into the collage and redraw, add color and rework the piece.
