Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

I am a Ledger Artist that utilizes both Alcohol markers combined with prismsacolor premier color pencils to achieve a desired level of shading and depth that reflects my style and work. I utilize Antique ledger paper from late 1800s and very early 1900s. Some of my work encompasses various methods that combine beadwork and other tradition art forms into my ledgers. The beauty of the art within my art is to tell a story within each piece wether it be a small story or an in depth story but to allow the viewer to feel the piece in how they see it and connect with each story.
