I think through my art and life by making hand-drawn maps, diagrams, and lists. These sketch-based works often include text, watercolor, and visual tools such as Venn Diagrams, mind maps, and relational charts. They help me make sense of ideas, decisions, relationships, and the evolving questions in my practice—and they often lead me toward new projects and new ways of seeing. They might fill a wall or fit in a tiny sketchbook, and I’m frequently drawn to them as artworks in their own right. They are a portal into my brain.
