Drawings
I enrolled in the 1980s in classic life drawing classes through the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, CA. I attended those classes for about a year, but when a new class titled “Drawing with Expression” opened, I enrolled. It encouraged me to experiment with the human form and portraiture and I felt emboldened to investigate whimsical and surreal extensions of classical draftsmanship. The 1970s through the late 1980s saw me work primarily on paper.
