Vanities
This series is based on images of vanities from the collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Drawing is the foundation of all art, as it hinges on perception. While I employ computer technology in my work, I also yearn for the directness of drawing and painting, nurturing my affinity for materials and the tactile experience of printmaking.

Going to my satellite studio each day was a way of calming my anxieties as I lost myself in the joys of mark-making. Drawing is the foundation of all art, as it hinges on perception. While I employ computer technology in my work, I also yearn for the directness of drawing and painting, nurturing my affinity for materials and the tactile experience of printmaking.
