I have always been drawn to the human figure - enthralled by images I observed by artists wherever I found them. From the time I could hold a pencil and strive to make it do my bidding, I have been drawing people. Most artists find the figure too difficult and turn to other concepts in art but I welcomed the challenge passionately and finally feel successful in my accomplishments.
