About the Artist:
I’m an Iraq War (and other operations) Veteran using drawing to process what war leaves behind — in the body, the mind, and spirit. Working primarily in pencil, pen, and charcoal, I use mark-making to process personal and referred trauma. I also experiment with mixed media by layering traditional drawing over AI-generated imagery, allowing emotion, energy, and instinct to shape the outcome. My work isn’t polished or resolved; it’s an ongoing act of making sense and trying to let go. I draw not to explain, but to uncover. Themes of trauma, identity, fragmentation, and recovery run through the work — though sometimes, it’s just about breathing through the next line.
