The most recent series of drawings, the Natural Instinct series, are interpretive studies of the growth, decay, and regenerating cycles within our natural world and socio-political environment.  While mostly observational in structure, these drawings are also counterintuitive, in that the final "drawn" image begin to deviate from the known natural, and forms take on a sometimes different and unintended persona.  In that way, the culminated result is not pre-determined assumption, but rather an arrived at revelation. While materials utilized are basic, the transformative nature of application is very important to the process. Most of the drawings tend to be a mixed combination of gesso, charcoal and/or dry pastels, India ink/drawing ink, contè crayons, possibly some waxy materials (china markers, colored pencils), lots of erasure and tonal blending.
