Artist Statement

"Loving to draw all my life there was nothing I wouldn’t try in the art world mediums. I have done oil paint, pencil drawing, and burning on wood.

But I decided to try burning leather to see how that will work, and now I hook on it.  Start buying pieces of leather and stretching them over canvas it works but hard to get it flat and not to bounce.  When I started glue leather on wood, and it work so well with the hard surface.
