What is the body?  Countless artists have studied, drawn, painted, sketched, and sculpted them throughout history, yet there is no final answer or singular masterpiece that captures the body.  Sociologists argue whether “the body” is a biological concept, or an ever-changing reflection of the culture and circumstances around it.  As with many other disciplines, the pursuit of understanding and sharing that knowledge is the joy and burden of an artist.  Interpreting and portraying the juncture between these two disciplines, art and sociology, has been my passion for years. 

Human bodies, bodies of water, earthly bodies and celestial – yet all are both incomplete and perfected in each moment of time.  The changing nature of the body throughout life and the earth throughout seasons.  I capture these moments, this essence of a body, in materials such as chalk, charcoals, pencils, pastels, and black and white papers; all showing not only a finished piece, but the journey of discovery along the way.
