"I love going on hikes in the mountains to look at the subtleties of nature, but when I bring my sketchbook, I stop looking and begin seeing. There's a fundamental difference between just looking at something as mundane as a leaf and seeing it for it's true form by drawing it. I feel this process gives insight and allows me to see that the common place objects passed by everyday tend to be the most interesting."
