I’m really enjoying the direction my drawing is going in at the moment. Ive slowed down a lot, taken a few online courses, paused more between portraits and taken the time to think about my process and it’s changed as a result. I’m less worried about likeness and more interested in capturing a sense of the person. I’m really happy with this portrait of Susan because although it’s not a perfect likeness I really feel like I’ve caught her spirit as I see it.
I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
