"There are few things as magical as taking a piece of paper and creating something interesting and colorful on its blank, white surface. Thinking of the nuances of color, shape, and line can hold my interest for hours as with each mark I  consider something --  life, love, loss or hope. It all transfers to the tool I am using and is forever captured in the piece, which then seems to be like a friend waving to the future me from the past and making all the days of my life present at once."
