MY ART

Welcome

This website is created to showcase some of my artwork. It is based mainly on my recent re-uptake of life-drawing. As a child I had the gift of being able to draw images with some degree of natural skill - I had what people said was ‘a talent for it’ - it was my superpower. I attended art college as a young adult but like many who attend such establishments, once finishing art school I more or less let go of drawing and art stuff generaly and got on with making a living, having a family etc. Now being retired from all of that I find myself being re-captivated with the activity of drawing and art, etc. Additionally, as we now live in a digital era I have begun exploring the possibilities of combining my drawings with digital-art-graphic-technology; my graphite pencil drawings get a second life, so to speak. Most of the images presented here are from recent life-drawing classes but with the inclusion of a handful of much older art-works/drawings (some going back over 40 years), including images of figurative sculptural piece’s. More images may be added in time - it’s all a work in progress… I produce new drawings on a weekly basis. I hope you enjoy and find the images in these galleries interesting. Thank you for your visit.

“An individual’s ability to draw is… the ability to shift to a different-from-ordinary way of processing visual information -to shift from verbal, analytic processing to spacial, global processing.”
