I thought that the next appropriate post would be to show some of the work that I have been doing in grad school. Here are a few images and I will be making more posts to show different bodies of work that I am working on. I went into grad school doing alot of creature drawings and paintings and I wanted to find a way to further the concept of them. I started to separate canvas and bring in this grid structure to my pieces. The grids allowed me break up the piece more and bring in certain imagery that made it easier to get my meaning across. I draw these creatures as a way to cope with whatever is going on around me. Certain events and emotions will inspire different pieces. Also, what I see around me, or the interactions that I with people everyday play a huge part in these creature pieces. They have become a huge emotional outlet for me and allow me to get all my thoughts out in a visual way.

I hope you enjoy and more posts of other work will be posted soon
