Paintings and Drawings

I consider painting and drawing to be my most basic forms of art. My ideas start here and evolve into a life of its own that can transcend to other media. Much of my works reflect the same black-and-white aesthetic of the subjects I choose to photograph as color is often reserved for my acrylic and oil paintings. Recently, these works have revolved around the idea of the self and identity as I start my journey as a counselor in training.
