“Essence II” was recreating a piece that I had drawn in college to see how my drawing style had changed over time. I find it a fun challenge to see what I can recreate and what is drawn in the moment without thinking and is almost impossible to replicate again.

“Mountains” and “Essence II” were both shown in the group art show Fantastical at 40West Arts gallery in 2018, which was my second time having art in a gallery.

This piece was part of RemainReal Art Gallery’s show “Woven Identites.”
