Give me the moment of desire, the right paper surface, good mark-making tools
and I will pursue the truest happiness I know, DRAWING.
When I have captured a pure emotion in my work, there
is a quick celebration, a burst of excitement and an immediate return to the art. My intent is to reveal the energy and emulate
the figure through loose interpretation of uninhibited line and depth. I don’t want to illustrate or create a
portrait. I only want what is necessary.
In my earliest years, I focused on what I could see on the outside.
Soon after college, it was the heart, the bones, the muscle and the mind that opened my artistic eye to a deeper expression.
Once I understood the human form, I challenged myself to take a step (back) to the next level.
Today, I am learning
that knowing too much can be obstructive. It is the element of the “unknown”, which sets the foundation for an
environment with less control. It is my goal; to forget what is so familiar and pursue form with a fresh and curious desire
balanced with the power and control of a loose line.
