Some Recent Mark Making

So these are a few images I've gathered over the last two years. I view them as my initial explorations into the use of mark making as means of meditation. These hours of contemplation provide a form of voice that relies on the improvised language of visual symbols encoded by the imagination to communicate with others. Each one of these works acts as a marker for lessons learned as I've stumbled upon them over time. I am currently finishing up my first illustration for a new focus and body of work entitled "Ghost Medicine" which chronicles my burgeoning discoveries in herbalism and ethnobotany. More information on that undertaking is available in my artist statement. Feel free to drop a line for any questions you might have. Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog!
