Used as a symbol of moving forward, ties into the words we writes around teh image. The atomic bomb piece is quite dynamic with the colours and texts. A series of the wave, shows the same motif running through all his works (repetitive) Also uses older cartoons as a motif. The heart and the skull also occur over and over again. His work is usually exhibited right on the wall and not really framed.

Mediums: ink, watercolour, root beer concentrate on paper. Came to drawing as a healing practice late in her life. Had to retire early due to arthritis.
