Drawings

Below is a selection of my works on paper. My contours are playful and are often done in brush pen. I keep them to a minimum, trying to make each one count. I vary their thickness, expressivity, as well as the pressure I apply them with. It is not the heaviest lines that carry the most weight but those that are the most suggestive of volume, movement, and personality. I like to dramatize my outlines with graceful, melodic splashes of acrylic, allowing my brush to dance to the tune in my head. I always look for ways to counterpoint each stroke with value and color contrasts. My ideal composition is one which conveys beauty and emotion.
