She has always loved drawing from life, for her it is the rawest form of creating art and connects to a rich tradition of artists working in the life drawing studio. The body has the ability to display huge ranges of emotion, the angle of a hip or position of a hand tells a story, and she is interested in the journey of discovering the quality of line to best convey the human condition. She loves drawing the human form with ink as it can be an unpredictable and organic medium, forcing you to let go and allow the medium to work for itself, as liberating as it is exposing.
