Transformation of Self

Drawings

These drawings were created out of my curiosity and research of a combination of things. Namely, art as a visual language, the use of symbols throughout history, the role of "play" in art and our primal instincts to communicate. I enjoyed using colorful chalk pastels as the vehicle for these studies. I also used india ink, conte crayons, china markers, oil pastels, white-out, and colored pencil sticks.

Welcome to Spira9 Art

I've set up this blog to post some of my artwork. I'm currently working on a number of projects, namely paintings and drawings, both of which are an ongoing series. Enjoy!
