Doodle Grid Method | Artist Statement

For years, I struggled with the pressure to make my sketches "perfect." This pursuit, especially with OCD, often felt overwhelming. The doodle grid method offered a new perspective that matched how my mind works—focused yet flexible. Working with a large-scale technique helped me move past the constraints I used to place on myself. It allowed me to be precise yet more free to embrace imperfection as part of the process. For the first time, I felt like I was truly sketching and not cheating.

My still-life compositions feature items from my home studio and my husband's music equipment. These objects reflect the shared creative space we live in and add a personal dimension to the work. This experience has strengthened both my technical skills and my understanding that art is about growth and authenticity. The doodle grid method has become a valuable tool, helping me create with more acceptance and less pressure. Through it, I will continue to grow and learn new techniques that can improve my skills.
