Drawing from life

I’m truly grateful that, since the pandemic, there are now so many options for drawing from live models at almost any time of day. While nothing compares to being in the same room with a live model, these virtual sessions are, in my opinion, the next best thing.

I’m especially fond of a drawing group based in Barcelona, as well as another in Brooklyn, New York—and one of my favorites is in Asheville, North Carolina. These sessions have been a source of real excitement and inspiration for me lately, and I’ve been exploring new approaches through them.

Light Bringer

This piece was created through what I call, automation, allowing intuition to guide my hand. Capturing energies in motion, this art was centered around a death poem by Khalil Gibran, the author of The Prophet. A sigil also activates the drawing, imbuing intent and emotional impact. Stepping beyond the ordinary waking state, I embraced this meditative drawing, opening doors to deeper expression.
