Draw from life. For life.
Draw from life. For life.
I’ve always been drawn to drawing. In my extreme youth it was a tool for discovery and experimentation, then when music took over I put the pencil aside. But during Covid I returned to the silent discipline ... drawing has now become for me a means to maintain sanity.”
Kate number one, 2023. Ink, pencil, whiteout/liquid on paper.
