My love for drawing goes back to my childhood. I have memories of doodling on small pieces of paper, sometimes drawing abstract mazes and sometimes copying other pictures that I would see, never thinking I measured up to much of anything artistically. I was always too shy to show anything that I did so Id toss it in a drawer or in the garbage.
It wasnt until recently that I decided to pursue drawing on a more serious level. I took my first real drawing class at the local college near where I live. The teacher told me that I had real talent and that she hoped I could go further. I thought she probably told everyone that.
I have found drawing and painting to be one of the most rewarding, relaxing things Ive ever done. Its almost funny that Im typing an artists statement because I never considered myself an artist, but just one who loves to draw. This is the only exposure Ive had for my art, and I hope you find it enjoyable.
