The inspiration behind my artwork is my passion for fishing and how it relaxes me. Fishing puts me into a meditative state. While i am fishing the overwhelming thoughts of life disappear as the act of fishing takes over. My artwork combines multiple visual perspectives from dreamlike spaces, thoughts, to more realistic aspects. My artworks consist of graphite, marker, charcoal, and colored pencil drawings. The artwork was created with design in mind, to help show the thoughts and feelings perceived while fishing. The artwork consists of three main subjects, the act of fishing, the various species of fish, and the baits used to catch them. The subject of fish symbolizes the target or goal in mind. The fish you chase after, all live in different environments, have specific attitudes, and various coloration. The baits represent intrusive or overwhelming thoughts creeping into the tranquil experience. The baits are represented in a graphic style, to depict a more physical presence.
