Embracing an undervalued medium.
About The Artist
Growing up in New Hampshire, I always preferred to draw, but felt I would never be considered a "real artist" unless I was a painter. After years of attempting other mediums I decided to be true to myself and returned to drawing. It has been and continues to be the only medium that holds my fascination. I continue to push myself to refine my technique which gravitates towards realism with heavy influences from nature. I prefer to let each piece speak for themselves and inspire their own emotions in the viewer. While I don't have a formal education in art I’ve supplemented my knowledge by taking various drawing classes through galleries and other artists. Therefore I also don’t consider myself a “self-taught” artist. I've exhibited throughout the United States and Canada.
Artist Statement
Art speaks louder than words.
I hope it inspires new perceptions of nature and people while bringing a greater appreciation to the fine art of drawing.
