Passed Me By :: 25x36 in

I made a larger version of a previous sketch I posted awhile back and made some adjustments. I was given an opportunity to participate in a NYC Art Teacher's Exhibit in Soho. Each teacher was given a 40x40 space on the wall. I decided to use that space for one large drawing.

Come see it in person at the Broome Gallery this month!

W. Broadway and Broome St.

so what was going through my head when drawing this? Honestly, there must have been many thoughts going through my head, or none at all. All I can really do is make sense of it and add more to this story. I thought about lines going through other lines, people passing each other by, and missed opportunities. Because all you can think about is the one thing in front of you, while everything around you is moving on and changing.

it's crazy what a simple drop of curiosity can do

Untitled 13x18 in

It's been awhile but here is my latest drawing. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I drew this. I really just wanted to play with the lines of water and the extension of branches.

different pages of you or me

I find the best time to doodle is during my professional development days when I'm sitting in the auditorium listening to a seminar on bomb threats and school emergency protocol. These are the different pages of my life, things change and shift, fall and grow, and perhaps I can become the person God meant for me to be.

I am amazed at how brokenness can bring about an urge to express itself.

walking away, running away, sailing away 8x10 in

Had this urge to draw this boat sailing as I was jogging near the boat docks. This sailboat just seemed to be waving me over to run away from all these inner thoughts of fears, insecurities, and melancholy piling up inside my head. It is really strange how some artists are inspired to write, compose, draw, or do anything when there are thoughts like these bursting out of their heads.
