 specialise in hand-drawn designs on white or cream paper using Rotring Technical Pens, Black Ink, Rulers, Protractors and Compasses.
Although I have experimented with coloured inks and paper, I feel the impact is not the same or as effective as black on neutral. However, I do use touches of red, gold and silver to enhance and create depth.
A spontaneous artist, rarely planning my drawings, I always start in the middle of the piece of paper and construct my work outwards. I would have to say that my inspiration is the blank sheet of paper and the first line and or shape I draw.
I aspire to achieve designs which are sometimes delicate, intricate and precise; at other times, bolder and stronger in their impact. I have been told that my pictures ﾔgrow on youﾕ in that each time you look at them you see something else: a different angle, an extra square coloured in randomly or purposely, an unusual shape or definition, which (hopefully!) encourages you to look again and again.
