Describe the style and technique you used to create your art: This pencil drawing was made in 2018 and reflected a time in my life where I was experiencing change in living and studio space, and unsure how things were going to turn out. This drawing reflected my feeling that I had to let go of the past, and the confidence that the transition would lead to a flowering of growth that would produce positive change.
