Before you can walk, you must be able to crawl. Before you can paint, you must be able to draw. So, I feel that it is important to include this collection in my online gallery.

I have always loved to draw. As an art student I worked mainly from real life. My first life drawing classes in college gave me a chance to increase my drawing skills and to work from both still lifes and the human figure. This group of artwork includes pencil, pen and ink, and charcoal drawings that I feel explore a number of subjects and techniques. The pieces are handled in a variety of ways and I feel that they illustrate various skills that each artist must possess.
