I’ve worked in many media. Sculptures in wood and paper mache, chicken wire, oils, gouache, paper clay. watercolor etc.  
I have boxes of ink drawings that I’ve made since childhood. These drawings describe how I was experiencing the world at a particular moment. Often those observations were expressed through a character that stood for me. It had many looks, some resembling me more than others. The character allowed the work to be personal while I hid in plain sight. The work I’ve been doing recently is a very clear and detailed exploration of my face. The images are large on the page and include every mark, fold and stain. The pictures are intense, seen by unblinking eyes that stare back and sometimes through me.
