These sketch works span my entire career from 1997 to the present day. They move between what I call my Micassos — the Blue Nude pastels — and my Patisses, the charcoal studies. The names are my way of acknowledging the depth of Picasso and Matisse in my own practice, a blend of influences that has become part of my inner soul. These works are raw, expressive, and rooted in the figurative nude, capturing emotion through line, gesture and instinct.
