I created this collection of pastel drawings over a 12 month period in 1995. My work was transitioning from a pretty heavy reliance on photographic source material to a self-imposed mandate to draw exclusively from nature.

The ocean, which is always in motion, presented the best way to loosen up and channel the marks

to the present and immediate.
