One Line & Minimalist

This is one of my favourite drawings. For me it captures all the possibility and belief that every young woman should recognise. The girl in the image instinctively knows she is capable of anything and furthermore knows that she will achieve whatever she chooses to.

It is a popular and unique gift for women of all ages on any occasion. I hope it reminds every woman to believe without doubt that she is capable of anything.

This minimalist pieces In this collection strip away as much of the subject as possible. This creates an element of wonder for the viewer as the imagination and memory try 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 viewer’s own mind.

I am not alone in my admiration for Audrey Hepburn. Not only was she a great actress but a woman who overcame much adversity and gave so much back to the world. She was the inspiration for this piece. There is something in the posture that shows a woman who is totally confident and independent.

The focus of this range is to capture the essence of the subject with the minimal use of line. The one line pieces are, as the name suggests, drawn with a single
line, the pen or brush never leaving the paper., creating deceptively simple images.

In drawing this I wanted to capture a sense of the player and the instrument being a single entity. The two are inseparable and that’s where the magic comes from.

It strikes me that in life we only tap into the rhythm when we are one with our thoughts, words and our actions. When they are seamless, life happens more easily and in a rhythm that makes sense to us.

The piece was inspired by the great Martin Hayes who I could listen to all day long.

This is a perfect gift for anyone who plays music, loves the arts or simply loves life.

There is a sense of ease and peace in this minimalist piece. The woman is happy in her own skin and ease with herself and the world around her. I have never been able to figure out what she is thinking.

A mother doesn’t stop being a mother once her children are grown. Likewise, a child doesn’t stop being a child to someone no matter how old we get, how independent we become or how successful we might be.

We will always be our mother’s  child. It’s nice to remind our mothers that we recognise this.

This piece is the ideal gift for Mother’s Day or anytime we need to let our mothers know how much we love them.

In drawing this I wanted to capture a sense of self acceptance in the image. The subject is totally at ease with herself. There is a feeling of playfulness, freedom and abandon in her movement.

If you familiar with Leonard Cohen's song 'Tonight Will Be Fine' you will see how it influenced the piece as it was playing while I drew.

The title for this piece came to me as I drew it. It is unique in the series in that it only depicts half of the subject. It leaves me with the feeling that whilst I can see her, she remains out of reach.
