Artist's Statement Drawing for me is an exploration of form, space, composition, balance and materials that can transform into emotions. It is another language that offers peace, tranquility and joy, in a place with no time where I can submerge and make discoveries. A drawing does not have to be paper and pencil. Working with charcoal has given me the desire to explore other materials. -- Deyanira Chavez
