Bio
” My main objective in drawing is to convey my response to the things that fascinate me in my surroundings..
When drawing I aim to become aware of the subject in its totality – its colour, character, form and so on – and its overall presence in the surrounding space.
Each situation will have its individuality as well as many links to preceding situations.
When drawing in this way over many hours, I find that I form a strong personal link with the subject. It is this experience I like to convey. “
