This portfolio is a collection of my rust & charcoal drawings. An impression is rusted onto the paper, and then worked over with charcoal to create a completely unique abstract drawing. I will rust an image onto the paper, and then work it over where I will actually draw with the rust itself and also charcoal (burnt wood), to make the final artwork. My themes are all about nature, energy and the cycle of life. I don't have an end image in mind when I start a new piece, but it just comes through to me as I'm working, where the drawing 'talks' to me, subconsciously guiding me along. It's an interactive process of give and take, until the final picture emerges.
