To me, sketching is taking a place, a time, and a feeling and making a simple picture through me; it makes me part of it. I like to draw the people and places in the Yakima/Columbia river areas. This is truly a beautiful place with mountians, rivers, and people worth drawing in order to save a moment.

Three of my favorite quotes:

My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery-always buzzing, humming, soaring, roaring, diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for?

---Virgina Woolf

If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?

---Van Morrison

The trend will end.
