“Why do I use pencil? Well I have been using pencil since I was a child. It has just always been my favorite medium. I love b/w film and photography as well. As I get older and more skilled in my craft, pencil has become romantic, poetic and something I would love to be a part of preserving. Pencil as a medium is really on the endangered species list lol; it’s been largely reduced to the idea of sketches and before we know it, digital will rule! Or so it would currently seem to me.

As well, given the nature of my work, which deals with symbolisms and metaphors, etc., it’s close to tapping into something of the collective unconscious. There is a great deal of subjective-ness to it, but there is an under-current of universality to as well. I am often asked why I do not put colors into my work and that is simple: I love pencil. But no seriously, other than that, colors mean different things to different peoplpe For example, how does the color blue make you feel? How does it make your neighbor feel? You see what I mean, it gets in the way of the translation of my work. It gets lost in translation.

To me, and hopefully others, my artistic expressions will be just that, Lucid Windows — windows of light/love/truth.”
