"An empty sheet of paper leads to countless thoughts of how a new drawing could be developed. Pictures or prints can mirror the mood of the day and may appear tranquil or expressive. I mostly value works that can be finished in one sitting and don't require a great deal of strenuous exertion. Such works, at least in my opinion, quite accurately reflect my own philosophy and can be summed up in a single maxim - carpe diem.

But with grattage and mixed technique I am lately working it is another story.  You have to wait and to aspect when layer after layer you can open the magic of your imagination."
