My art deals with the shifting shadows of social issues. I use my love of drawing as a path to express innate concerns about liberty, fear and hope, about an individual’s need for work and for sustenance, for shelter and for love. Some are as geopolitically volatile as the indignities people suffer when they lose their basic freedoms. It is by means of charcoal, ink and paint that I celebrate, agonize and weep over this life, whether it is in the glare hurtling off of an arm wrenched by jailers, or the shifting glow on necks entwined in an embrace.
