One of a kind hand drawn artist's book . This series of drawings investigates the visual qualities of intersecting circles whose area measurements are in proportions related to the Fibonacci Sequence. This experiment is a different way to look at the ratios of consecutive Fibonacci numbers. These drawings combine circle curves of different scales.

This accordion Moebius strip has a unique feature of alternating colored drawings on each panel. This creates the visual effect of appearing to be all in a single color if looked at from certain angles. Although a Moebius strip only has one side, this accordion has two distinct faces. The marking drawings on each panel are based on the Fibonacci Sequence.

In my Chaos Theory-inspired drawings, I illustrate the order and pattern within the seemingly chaotic mass of lines. I spent many months making a stop motion video of the creation of a Chaos drawing. I would have to step away from the drawing after every line. This pause in drawing made me look at the work in progress and at numerous times I realized that the drawing was visually interesting through out its creation. So I decided to make a book where you could see the drawing at different stages.I created a series of hand drawn books, but my most recent Chaos project is a Letter pressed edition Box of Chaos published by Purgatory Pie Press in NYC. Box of Chaos consists of four folded paper structures illustrated 8 phases of chaos .
