“I have a strong passion for drawing the human figure in motion. I use copier toner to create and capture how I see, feel, and interpret dance and bodies in motion. In my exhibition TURN, I paint marks that represent how bodies move in space. I feel these forms are sub-lime and satisfying. I enjoy using copier toner to paint in my tusche wash style to create exciting marks with my brushes. These marks and artworks are created in my style which exemplifies a deep love for expressive dance and mark-making.”
