My charcoal and pencil drawings are about forms of nature, social experience, emotional flow and healing. I create each piece intuitively, letting my hands guide me rather than sticking to a strict plan of any nature. My current drawings are not about forms of detailing, but about expression and energy.    Unlike my earlier works which focused on using photos for source materials, my drawings are about exploring and sited by intuition, the ability for me to draw from whats sitting spmewhere inside. It represents healing of past and present and social interaction. The drawing called 'Lady, over there', is a lady holding herself, which represents today's strain and self-soothing.  It's more about movement rather than anatomical accuracy. Her wrapped hands are twisted, one sits on her hip which represents discontent. She's holding her body representing her entire body to self-acceptance and self-soothing. The title reflects the lady being 'seen'. It brings her to light. The hope is that my drawings are powerfully dissected this way.   I think what makes me as an artist now is being present, being responsible, responsive, honest and truthful, healing, people shaping our lives, boundaries, being who you are, being allowed to get embarrassed and even regret. 


I try to do is beat sadness with kindness to tackle evil with laughter to spring gentlebess over pain, it's not coping - it's leading into a frequency that allows you to smile, try be embrace the beauty, raw drawings.  Recently, I've been really connecting with willow charcoal, more so than pencils. Watercolour is another.  The transparency and when it's mixed with water, we are made of water, water and salt being the most important ingredient to make our body work, it's our composition as human sapiens.  I take willow charcoal, and draw what comes through to me. Sometimes there's a preconception of what I want to draw and then at times there isn't. I use acid free paper and pencil.  My urge to draw expressionally is usually at night or early hours of the morning when I have some quietness.  Sara. 10/2025
