Portfolio > Drawing & 2D Work

I have been creating drawings using shrinky-dink materials {a sort of magical transparent plastic} since 2003. I enjoy creating narrative little worlds, exploring ideas of play, memory & the human condition. I seem to have a need to juggle things & enjoy working on several {8-10} pieces at the same time in the studio. I find the constant activity really relaxing.
