My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other. The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us. Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people. These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art. #drawing #art #knitting #digitalart #creativereels #digitalartforbeginners #arttiktoks #artandcraft #artist #knittingforbeginners #knittingmachine #knittingdesigns #drawingdog #dogdrawing #artstudio #artstudiotour #portraitart #womandrawing #mandrawing #lifedrawing

I was inspired to do this drawing because I felt there was real emotion present here. I cropped in the composition. Then the lines of the hat and the beard further focus in the viewers eyes on the sitter. They looked a little sad or concerned so I kept a more somber color palette but left some light coming off the face on the left side. So there is some optimism and joy in store for this character. I want the focus on the face so I left the rendering of the beard nice and loose.
