I started drawing in the early 1980s, for me it was ‘a new way of seeing’ and the beginning of my search and discovery in art. I developed my realistic rendering skills quickly and had been using photography for a long time, as such I was driven to understand the Abstract in Art. Some of these drawings reflected this research.
