Life Drawing

There’s no mystery as to why artists draw, paint and sculpt the human figure and the nude.

The human body is both our vehicle and our measure. We have created a world around us based on its dimension and capability.

It is the measure of us, of our world. It is who we are reduced to an essence. It so perfectly expresses our human qualities - tenderness, strength, love, joy, effort, tension, ease and more. In combination of figures we can define our relationships in all their complexity. It is our boundary and our liberation. The body is so complex yet always beautiful, it can be endlessly folded, twisted and stretched, capturing light and shadow and always heavy with meaning and emotion.

My work is predominantly figurative and realistic. Life drawing from the model will always be core to my art practice and forms a large part of my work in charcoal and pastel on paper.
