Creature Comfort

Opening Reception - Saturday, September 7th - 4-6pm

I grew up scared of monsters, as many people do, and as an only child, I felt like an easy target. Obviously my parents couldn't protect me because the monsters would easily overpower them, so I thought up an imaginary friend---a fierce monster named Beasta---to communicate with the other monsters and safeguard me. This show is a continuation of imaginary monsters that may appear threatening in their strangeness and ferociousness, but because they are my own creations, my own creatures, they keep me from harm, provide comfort from my fears. I work on paper using pencil, pen, markers, and fine liners, and on the iPad using Apple pencil and a program called Sketchbook.
