The marks a person can make with a brush or pencil play a huge role in how the viewer perceives the work. My drawings are an exploration of these marks paired with spontaneous emotion that occurs when I attend my local figure drawing group. Each drawing is a representation of the night it was created. As each model and each pose is unique, I find that I must pick and choose what will end up on my paper and how the different parts will interact. While the longer poses are meant to be more detailed, I have found that I enjoy playing with what can become of the shorter ones. I start to turn the quick lines from earlier in the evening into bits of atmosphere creating a unique space that dictates how I will position the longer poses into my drawing. When all the elements play with each other in harmonious way, the viewer is led to believe that the forms exist in a world of their own, surrounded by nothing more than fading dreams.
