I reach toward the unknown by spontaneously drawing lines across blank water color paper with a black sharpie. This unconscious process of mark making encourages a meditative state that allows me to enter into the unseen world that surrounds everyday existence. I develop an infrastructure from which abstract figurative images emerge. I continue completion of the image with water based oil paint to defines shapes withing the drawn lines.
