Lamps

Once upon a time... in an art class I was instructed to draw what you see. There are a lot of interpretations of this, but when I started focusing on art I focused on drawing objects around me. The ordinary can sometimes create great works of art, depending on the way they are perceived. I grew up around abstract art. It was everywhere I looked and I viewed it as the rebel of the art world. Not quite understood by the general population, but intriguing to me in some wonderful way.

It did not surprise me that once I started drawing the items around me that they did not turn out quite the way they did to everyone else. I use line drawings to inspire me to see the abstract work around the actual item. Not letting myself look at my pencil or paper forces my mind to interpret shapes in a whole new way. Line drawings are probably my favorite form of art to make.
