The drawings are a result of a deep desire for direction, order, and balance within the anguish over the truths of death and loss, reaching into the spirit work with curiosity to understand the inevitable new. The works depict my curiosity, wonders and inclination toward the deceased as spirits to understand and cope with the absence of a loved one.
