My drawings come as dreams come, from deep within my existence, needing to be sent out. A message to myself perhaps. Yes.
They evolve as my life does.
Nothing of what I draw is premeditated. This process is sacred. When I sit with my coffee and start, my mind goes blank and my heart patiently feeds my hand.
I define myself as self-taught, an art school drop-out. My other diplomas, Fashion Design and Culture Communication, simply shaped the person I am now.
I presently work in a kitchen part-time with beautiful humans. The rest of my time is dedicated to my son, my art practice and sleep.

So much of my reason for being here, is to bare witness to it. To the interesting loving people, that inspire me somehow. To bare witness to the all that holds me; to noise and to the silence. To sit and look, and listen. I could do this all days, until my time is finished.

Little of me wishes to experience, because simply being here, doing nothing, is so alive, so nurturing.

And so I will sit and look, and sometimes listen. But I will mostly do nothing, as most might understand. And share my findings, in due time.
