I’ve recently re-started my sketchbook practice. I used to spend a ton of time working in sketchbooks and that practice became a springboard for new ideas in the studio. I’m excited to be back in it again. Here are some pages from April and May 2023.

I can see inklings of my earlier favorite compositions and patterned marks coming out to play. I have five blank canvases waiting in my studio and I’m excited to see if/how any of these sketchbook explorations show up in larger work.
