Drawing it Down - Portland, Oregon












Drawing Series, Colored Pencil, 16"x7"
Drawing it Down 2: Making your Marks in Public is a community event designed to build bridges between artists and community. It's the brain child of Buff Medb Neretin who wants to foster arts awareness in education.  It was sponsored by Arts on the Peninsula & the St. John's Neighborhood Association.  

Art making is typically a solitary activity. However, working in a group setting is somehow more motivating.  The focused energy of others can act as muse.  I can also relate it to community acupuncture, of course, which draws upon the power of group energy.  It's all about the energy.

I think some of my drawings will eventually become sculptures.
