My series is inspired by my coming to terms with getting older and my insecurities about my changing appearance.

From the rings of tree and sandstone formation to a prickly pear cactus and rippling water, I use hybrids of myself to explore elements of natural beauty.

Spots, lines, ripples and bumps only add to the beauty of nature.

This series is about the impact one person can have in the world. I explored my journey, reflecting what kind of impact my life has had on others, and what imprint I want to leave in this world.

After teaching 17 years on three different continents, I reflected on the students that I have impacted and have impacted me and how each of the cultures I’ve lived in have impacted my life.

When my time on earth is done, I want to leave impacting the world with LOVE.

My series is inspired by a childhood memory of searching for shark teeth on a Florida beach while on vacation with my family in the mid 90’s. I began by primarily using colored markers (1) and colored pencils (2) and later incorporated gouache paint, micron pen, and a more realistic drawing approach (3, 4, 5), thanks to inspiration from a fellow artist, Sam, and the concept of using maps in art.

Throughout the series, I experimented with varying line thickness, abstraction of form, and shapes created by negative and positive space. I'm intrigued by how adults recall childhood memories and what details are or are not remembered. I represented this by hidden or abstracted forms and what images are or are not included in my pieces.

SAM LACOMBE In these drawings I wanted to reflect the concept of opposition from my childhood drawing, filtered through the week’s earlier experiments.

The expressions are arguably similar compared to the extremes suggested in the childhood drawing, hopefully indicating that today I am less likely to perceive the world in absolutes.
