PROCESESS::STAGES

This page is dedicated to showing personal sketchbook artwork & focuses on how art can be used to process concepts or ideas from daily life. 

Using my sketchbook is central to my work both as an artist & an art therapist. It helps me process my world of past, present, & future.

With each featured artwork, I've included a brief phrase to summarize the energy & intention behind the artwork.
