ARTIST STATEMENT

The inspiration for this delicate colored pencil piece came largely from my personal experiences. However, the phenomenal works of Yusniel Santos gave me the inspiration to attempt a work with the focus on fish. In addition, the background and water were inspired by the lovely state of Oregon in which I tend to fish often, even going after rainbow trout as portrayed in the piece. The rain proved difficult to draw but my style and persistence really led to a result I'm proud of.
