ON PAPER

Drawing is where my thinking begins. It is an immediate process that brings me into a creative and instinctive space.

Working with charcoal, ink, and pastels, often from a live model, I draw quickly and respond intuitively to colour and tone. Colour becomes a way of describing flesh, space, and emotion rather than simply what I see.

I am not interested in copying or illustrating. Instead, I use drawing as a way of reinventing what is in front of me, allowing forms and ideas to emerge through the act of looking, feeling, and making.
