'For people to feel better that is in the world of the really really big corona virus. I wanted people to feel better, that is really what I was inspired of.'
'I wrote it for my daughter Annabelle.'
'I do tattoos for a living, so I have had a lot of time off with this epidemic. So I have been painting lots of tattoo flash.'
'My tattoo inking station now holds all my paint supplies and is set up beside my painting table. The easel was gifted to me by a friend, who I will gift a painting of her bunny in exchange.'
'Solo photography missions in late afternoons during last light to stay creative and active. A flock of geese came into town just before the melt on the flats.'
'The fear, restrictions, complexity of tasks and the emotional toll all rang familiar to the journey I had been through over the winter months.'
'I was inspired to use threads instead of ink and I live the tridimensionality of it. This piece is a reminder that life is a circle and that we need to stay connected, now more than ever. '
'The busy nature of this drawing is a sign of an accumulation of ideas I've been wanting to put on paper or iPad in this case. With more time on my hands, ideas become clearer, "ink" flows freely and new drawings materialize. '
