"Tools" 19 x 23 pen and ink 2006

This piece has deep, personal meaning. It is a still life of the actual tools I used when I worked as a Journeyman carpenter 1997 - 2006. While I was working I was reconciling with the fact that my career had met an untimely end due to a car accident. It is a tribute to a passing chapter in my life, but not an unhappy one, because it has led to my reconnection as an artist.
