Artist Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The looser, ink and gouache drawings tend to be somewhat imagistic.
\nVisual poems, in a language somewhat like that found in dreams.
\nThe ball point pen drawings are more like inner road trips in which the act of drawing
\nitself is a kind of meditation.\u00a0 A kind of surgery
\nperformed on a body, which is my mind.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, and hopefully, relate.<\/p>\n
