my work

Thinking back on my artwork I'd say that there are a few underlying themes. A lot of my work has an underlying theme of nature. I never really realized this before but thinking back on it a lot of my artwork has this in common. Another theme in my work is text. I like to use text and pictures together, and like the idea of them working together to convey something that neither could fully do alone.

I have done many different types of media, but the theme carries over. Not only do i use the nature theme a lot, but I like to use it to convey something else. I don't like to just draw a bunch of flowers and call it a day. I have used nature to display growth and change. I like that there are so many different things to convey with one subject matter.

I also really like to draw hands. Like nature, they can convey many different feelings and such, which is kind of strange to say considering its a hand. The action, placement and shaping of the hand can seem to convey different emotions. Hands have such intricate shapes, cracks and shadows that every time you draw one they're different. I'd really like to continue to explore these themes and look into other ones as well.
