I used to draw every day. In middle school, I would get so absorbed into my process that sometimes I would forget to eat or blink. As a sophomore at RISD, I found myself wondering why I didn’t feel that meditative obsession with drawing anymore. I missed “the zone.”

My whirligigs are an ongoing series of intuitive drawings that have taken on lives of their own. They are symmetrical on at least one axis and contain five colored pencil colors, each on a distinct color of paper. I am aiming to complete one hundred whirligigs. So far, I have completed twelve. This page is always being updated.
