I love to draw

I make drawings as a diary of my life. In a style similar to a graphic novel  they are an evolving narrative self portrait, often using the form of drawings and texts. Over the years there are repeated themes, situations, and settings. In making these drawings I am watching how life repeats and alters, changes, develops, and stays the same. In drawing myself I become an observer of my world. In carefully drawing a photograph, I make a moment significant; in the process it may become heavy with pathos, or irony, or self-knowledge.Even  drawings of buildings- shown in my studies of  synagogues, churches and law courts- are equally personal. They are sacred environments or architecturally designated spaces of introspection, and self awareness.
