DRAWINGS
Drawing is the foundation for all my art. Everything I create starts with a sketch.
When I was young, drawing was my drug. I could escape the confines of the classroom, or anywhere I didn’t want to be. It was freedom.
Some of my drawings are tight, some are loose, some are doodles or sketches, and some are finished works. Sometimes a sketch records an idea before it disappears.
The short distance from the brain to the hand can sometimes produce amazing results.
I love graphite so much that I even use the powdered form on some of my painting frames and sculptures as a polished metallic finish.
Observation and perception, combined with imagination and my hand, are the key ingredients that start the journey.
