Drawing is a meditation.
Drawing is a daily practice and a personal journey. The process of wrapping a line and a shadow around space, enveloping and embracing a void is a form of meditation. There is a Connection to the act of placing my hand on paper that is first and foremost.
I work with graphite, charcoal, pan pastel, white charcoal, silver point, and walnut ink on paper.
My intention is to capture an emotive state using the portrait and the figure as context. I work at developing and honing methods of chiaroscuro using the many historic examples: da Vinci, Michelangelo, Velazquez. I prefer working from life, however, the lockdown allowed me the quiet space to draw from the digital screen. I am consistently analog, discovering ways of seeing that allow an expanded horizon.
