Love Replaces Pain

My work explores the theme of erosion and the effects it has on the physical and mental state of a person and the world we live in. If you strip away the problems of everyday life, your spirit steps away from the burdens and helps you to focus on the true nature of life which is to be free and to experience everything you want out of life! Erosion wears away inner light, but it can also clear away the dead weight that clutters your path. I use drawing and painting to communicate a positive and constructive view of the world!
