These images give an idea of how I use drawing. In the past, it was mainly for personal records; places, events; observational records or for preliminary/planning sketches to be worked up as final work. Exploring ‘drawing’ as an end in itself is a relatively new approach for me and, exploring the boundaries of what a drawing mmight be  is becoming increasingly important in my work.  The Drawing Group provides an important focus in this process.
