Hello UWS Creative Collective, 

Thank you for joining us at the Triad Tuesday night. Night at the Triad 3 evoked contagious energy, laughter, and inspiration; I hope you all felt the magic. 

Feeling something is one thing, capturing it is another, and drawing it live can feel impossible. That evening I tucked myself in the front right corner and traced the movements and colors of each artist as they dazzled us. 

Here is what I created. Signatures of each artist included. 

I will make copies of the work and bring them to Black Press. 

Thank you artists for sharing your contagious creativity, thank you audience members for your caring consideration, and thank you UWS Creative Collective for your community. 

I love to draw, and I love telling stories even more. If my work has moved you please explore my art. If my work has invited you, I would love to create something for you. I do commissions and I love a trade. Open to anything and everything always.
