“In my world, every picture tells a story. Some of my work is inspired by stories told by others or stories that I have been a part of in some way. However, the majority of my work tells stories about my subjects, which include both people and animals. You can often see me drawing in a sketchbook that I carry everywhere for capturing these stories.”
