The exercise of drawing from the life brings out the individuality of the (artist) in the man.

An artist whose integrity sustains his strength to make no compromise with expediency is never degraded.

Speaking generally Art endevours to reveal what is true and needs to be free.

I approach drawing solely for structure.

Style is ephemeral – Form is eternal

Good judgement is through good drawing – from the nervous system to the sensory of the brain it is the combination of eurythmics, euphony and poetry, and when the good draughtsman draws, the muses come to dance. Then the imagination is given full play, and design happens. They then become the Muses.
