Artist Statement

Virtual vases filled with flora and specimens from a particular location are the subject of my recent work which is drawn directly onto an iPad in front of the subject. 

On visits to new or familiar places, I collect flowers, foliage, feathers, grasses, seaweed and other objects which catch my interest.  The resulting digital drawings are arranged in a vase, also drawn from the surroundings, to create a seasonal bouquet and souvenir of the visit.

I enjoy drawing outdoors as it prolongs the depth of experience and appreciation of a location. 

Images are printed using archival quality ink and paper.
