Santa Maria della Salute, Venice, 0.1 graphite pen in sketchbook, 91⁄4x13in (24x33cm)
I love drawing. I always have. The actual process, both physical and mental, is a kind of meditation for me, and a way to communicate my ideas and experiences to myself. A sketchbook is my version of a written diary. Not everything in it is a great drawing, nor will every page be the inspiration for a new painting, but that does not matter. The drawings, whether finished, interrupted or incomplete, are part of my life as an artist and build my confidence, observation skills and experience to help me develop my work in the future.
