gallery
A Houston studio showcasing ballpoint pen drawings crafted with dense hatching that mimics muscle fibers.
Description
The studio highlights an artistic practice rooted in finding flow states through repeated hatching. Working primarily with a simple ballpoint pen, the artist uses the pared-back tool to remove distractions, directing attention to the flowing nature of the individual lines that run through each subject. Making art has served as a lifelong constant for the artist, turning sustained repetition into the focal point of the display.
