As you can tell by most of my art pieces, I am especially fond of working in pen and ink. I love the graphic, monochromatic look of it, and the drama that it creates. This set is part of a series I call "Hunter and the Hunted". I hope to explore this in greater depth in the near future. I think that doing a series of work will help me to become a bit better at what I love best. It will also be a vehicle to communicate some of what I am feeling right now about life in this world...at this moment in time. I guess I am a bit paranoid, but when I turn on the news and see people being targeted, their identities stolen, robberies reported daily, and on a world level seeing such religious intolerance on a massive scale....I feel like some of us are the mice and some are the predator! Yikes! Art is a way of communicating the artist's thoughts, feelings and heart. I have been told by some of my instructors over the years that I am simply drawing an animal, and there is no communication at all. I disagree. Strongly! Every piece I do has all of my heart and soul in it. I do hope that you can see through the subject matter and into the depths....
