Drawing homework assignment. 40 drawings in two weeks! I managed and I'm glad they didn't come out as terrible as I thought they would. My subject matter will probably always revolve around the interior and domesticity. There is something familiar, comforting, yet unknown and mysterious about the victorian rooms I capture.  They move me.

The essentials of my weekend. I've read Anne Sexton nearly twenty times and never get tired. She inspires so much of my imagination. I feel like I will never be able to finish Lolita. I find myself reaching for it every now and then but the bookmark is always in the same place. Go figure! My massive painting technique book always reminds me that I should be painting instead of lounging. It's been nearly three years and I've probably opened it twice though. It's a good reminder nonetheless.

The silkscreen print of my heart. I've given so many to friends. For me, the joy of printmaking is having that option.
A linear doodle I did today while doing art history homework. I am fascinated by line.
Okay.. so I admit it isn't a drawing, but I worked really hard on this etching. Watercolor is a difficult medium to work with. I am sufficiently satisfied with it nonetheless.

What inspired my bedroom series? My lack of sleep!
A self portrait I did when I was feeling very anxious. I find that I am most creative when I am on edge.
