What can I share with you that helps you understand who I am, why I do this,
why it matters? It just feels right; drawing, painting, creating, fighting through the process to make it better,
to finish it. I do want you to like it but that's not the most important thing. That's not why I do it. I want to like it, which
sounds selfish, but I think it's more obsessive than that. There's something driving it. I have trouble letting pieces go. There
is always doubt, but I know it's not mine. It never is. It's always someone elses and we hold on to it like it means so much. Art
is a solution, and there is always something in the way. It's moveable. I'm just looking at it, not really knowing how it happened.
I like working through it. I didn't even know that I could actually do any of this. I think that's why I like keeping
them. I didn't know that you have to fight through the uncomfortable to get to the good stuff when it came to art. I can't
believe I didn't know that. I love knowing that.
A lot of pieces in this collection are studies. There will be more. This is only the beginning.
