Artist statement:
Ever found yourself lost in the mesmerising spell of the beach, where the waves whisper secrets of distant galaxies? With your toes buried in the sand, the universe is as your feet.

"Stargazing V" is part of a whimsical series that explores daydreams and distant worlds. The series merges the mundane with the extraordinary.

Working with pencil directly on wood is a new practice I am experimenting with. I was surprised to see how easy my regular drawing technique worked with the wooden surface. Being able to utilise the natural grain of the wood as part of my composition, adds to the layers of meaning in the work.

This artwork was drawn with high quality artist pencils on a professional art board.
This artwork has d-rings and string attached, ready to hang on your wall.
