For me, drawing seems less an act of creating than a process of becoming. When I first started drawing some six years ago, the allure was just to see if an image could be fashioned on paper that would be recognizable (for what it really was) upon completion. That experiment began with objects of personal interest - lighthouses and covered bridges. Though the early efforts were not entirely satisfactory, they were at least tolerable. The subject range then expanded to include some of the beautiful state where I live – Alaska.
Included in this second phase were landmarks from around the Interior as well as some early efforts at depicting wildlife. These met with some success and actually led to a few sales of prints and note cards. By then it was impossible to go anywhere without that nagging little prod in the back of the mind…wouldn’t that make a neat picture? I now have a digital camera that is my constant companion.
