Artist Statement
Although these drawings require a good deal of preparation before I make them (the lines are places according to how troops moved in certain Civil War battles), l don’t "sketch" anything before I start. I think this procedure was born from a reaction to being taught to sketch and evaluate many ideas and thumbnails before executing a formidable work.

I use a mechanical pencil, valuable for its precise, consistent mark to make drawings that I hope are subtle and even sensuous.
