Drawing and painting, for me, IS a process of intimate observation and presence.
As I observe and draw the lines of a stem, a branch, a root form, I simultaneously learn to know these forms and the sinews, viens, spinal column and life force living within me.
Botanicals in portraits, still life, dried and silhouetted or tumbling, shadowy, overgrown, rooting and budding are the different ways I’ve been looking for an expression that reflects the life cycle and our larger interdependent relationship with/in nature.
