I do not want my art to be just decorative drawings of pretty, young, slim, ciagendered women. Reclining and sleeping half naked. Nothing wrong with them, but walking though an art museum you would think they make up 90% of the population. I used to draw a lot in university and then I stopped. I didn’t see a point to it. Why should I just go through the motions of drawing people? My drawings were great, but really empty. I didn’t realize my power, the power of representation. I want to bring more emotion in art. How about depression, anxiety, joy and curiosity and the whole spectrum of emotions, rather than blank faced or headless women !? How about people of all shapes and sizes, or genders or ages?!? How about those who do not usually see themselves in art?!? Let’s bring some depth and diversity and share some stories.

Somehow I am insecure about the drawing I created to capture my insecurities and negative feelings. Not feeling like it is good enough. I was gonna call it ‘Feeling blue’ but might just go with ‘Shut the fuck up brain!’

Who can relate? .

Natural charcoal, let’s see how it does when back in the studio in a couple of days. Trying to bring my vacation home and hold on to it as long as I can.

Captured a bit of the moment to take home with me. My journal now smells like fire and pines and dust. ❤️
Why don’t scented candles come with that smell? .

Drawing keeps you fit! Who knew !?!?
😂😜
Hiking my drawing travel kit for 6 hours up a mountain might not be the easiest thing, but it’s definitely worth it.

This is my idea of a perfect vacation, what is yours?

Hiking breaks make the best drawing breaks. Those are some very pretty bad lands.

Traveling in Alberta’s Bad Lands. I don’t usually share much here about me other than as I see the world through art. Anyone interested in my travels and getting to know me a little better ? .
