One of my methods of creative expression is sketching. I describe my style as free-flowing, in that I don't usually begin with any sort of fixed concept to draw, but mostly build on line by line. I allow my hand to be led by wherever my creativity chooses to go, without questioning it. It is at times chaotic, limitless, emotionally cathartic, and always an exhilarating and unpredictable journey.
