my first time trying to sketch with my father’s fountain pen

Barrett, the artist

I am a narrative artist, painting, sculpting, stitching, drawing, preferring recycled substrates and whatever medium effectively tells the story.  I love the schuss of pencil on heavy paper, the satisfaction of creating art from found materials, making marks with my late father's vintage fountain pen.
