LET IT FLOW

About Me

I am an artist. I also sell Real Estate, which I enjoy. I want to network with other artists, and with anyone related to the arts. I want to see what's out there.

LET IT FLOW.I try to capture the flow of energy on paper. I try not to force anything, but to just let it happen...let it flow on it's own.
I get my creative energy from nature. I get energized from walking in the forest or in a wildflower field in the mountains, sitting next to a waterfall or a beautiful mountain lake, snorkelling a reef, or body surfing in the ocean. I love being in and around water. I love the energy of storms, especially a good thunder storm.
I absorb the natural flows and rhythms and try to let them flow through me onto the paper.
I almost always listen to music when I draw, which helps me get into the flow. I generally don't have a plan when I draw. When I start to see something, I accentuate the feeling until it starts to work. I like to turn the paper as I draw to make it work from all angles. I learned this from carving stone, which you constantly turn as you work on it.
My most recent works have tended to be a bit on the erotic side. Sexual energy is perhaps the most fluid and intense of human emotions. I guess I'll just go with the flow and see where it leads.
