ARTIST STATEMENT In my mind, the details are what make a building beautiful. The intricate carvings of one, the seamless joints of another, the smooth curves and arching entrances. When I look at a building, I take time to study as many of its details as I can. My artwork depicts buildings with as much intricacy as my pencil can muster. Every window is important, every crack in the wall has its own story. Drawn freehand with a mechanical pencil, my artwork ranges from 9×12 inch sketches to nearly six foot long drawings, each done with careful patience. I hope to convey the tale of each building’s life in my drawings, and stress the importance of their seemingly insignificant assets by shining the spotlight on their tiny details.
