8 x 10 inches Acrylic on Paper

" As someone who started out as an interior design major spending hours hand drafting blue prints, my eyes have always been drawn to the linear views and architectural structures that make up the world around us. One of my favorite drawing exercises is blind contour and I use it often now when beginning a new piece because it allows the lines to breathe and leaves more room for interpretation. All of my paintings begin using the squeeze bottle technique to give a fluidity to the drawing. Using lines and the negative space that they form helps to create a new perspective, while filing in the spaces with color adds another dimension to make it less literal and more abstract. My intention is to push the viewer to discover what they see in my work, whether it be the presence of what is actually there or the recognition of something that was unintentional."
