ORIGINAL DRAWINGS

Just as deeply-seated in realism as the carvings, drawings are an equal passion. No medium captures the ebb and flow of the texture of fur like drawing.

• The timeless, minimalist compositions place the focus on the detail and fit with any home interior.

• The eyes are the windows to emotion and attitude. The multiple reflections, the depth and the shapes are carefully planned. 

• The materials used are the highest grade. From the archival, acid-free paper to the graphite or charcoal. Each piece is protected with a non-yellowing, high-grade final fixative.
