One Line and Minimalist
The focus of the work in this collection is to capture the essence of the subject with the minimal use of line.
The one line pieces were, as the name suggests, are drawn with a single line, the pen or brush never leaving the paper until it is complete, creating deceptively simple images.
Tthe minimalist pieces strip away as much of the subject as possible. This creates
an element of wonder for the viewer as their imagination and memory attempt to
complete the scene. It can be a very emotive experience as the image emerges
from what is actually being seen and from what exists in the viewers own mind.
All pieces in this collection are limited edition
