oil pastel, oil stick, and graphite on paper
My works on paper have been evolving over the past eleven years. I primarily work with oil stick, oil pastel and graphite. These works show an intimate view of subjects, depicting the essence or emotion I see in the images. I love working with oil pastels and oil sticks because of their intense colors and textural qualities, and because for me it is such a direct and enjoyable physical process.
