My recent drawing projects, including the pieces for this anthology, have been my attempt to revisit a subject matter that is familiar and dear to me – the natural world. I attempted to compose my work for this publication in such a way as to show the relationships of organisms with each other and the elements, a fundamental principle of ecology. Combine the “wildness” of my typical subjects and the civility of recording through writing such matters of natural order, and my piece becomes an analogue for the concept of “Writing on the wild side.”

Writing Wild: A Unique Form of Expression
