Philosophy

Drawing is much like learning to see, as if for the very first time, the essence that lives and luminance within everything. It is a miraculous visual music that can be heard and felt, a subtle magical force that is born of trusting my intuition enough to act upon it. My hope is for the viewer to 'hear' it too.

Each drawing has an emotional or historical connection. I need to have this connection for the drawing to be a true success. This happens best when I am drawn to a very specific vantage point in time and space. In the eye of the beginner there are many possibilities; in the eye of the expert there are only a few.
