Studies in line and shadow
These pen and ink drawings explore the interplay of line, texture, and tone in both natural and architectural subjects. Working with this direct and immediate medium allows for a focus on essential forms and the subtle gradations of light and shadow.
From quick location sketches to more detailed studio works, each piece demonstrates the expressive possibilities of pen work — whether capturing the texture of weathered buildings, the movement of branches against sky, or the play of shadows across familiar scenes.
