Story Behind the Art:
There are some pieces that I create and never share because it was created purely for my own enjoyment, and the Tontal Tulip drawing was born from one of these exercises. The most recent of my tonal botanicals, this tulip drawing is new life given to an older, beloved drawing. I love the delicate sway of the parrot tulips, the way this technique captures the beautiful texture of the petals and even the large, stately leaves that keep everything grounded.
Tonal Botanicals Collection:
This collection was born out of my love for history. After sorting through my own student work on newsprint and flipping through some of my art history books, my fingers began to itch to bring back some of that aesthetic into my own artwork. The traditional aspect of a full pencil shaded drawing, the tonal play and interest of tinted papers and added highlights excited me and I was quickly addicted.
My goal with this collection is to capture much of the same delicate and playful illustrations that are featured in my other artwork, but with a more historic and formal way. I love mixing these pieces in with watercolors or line drawings as the darker, tonal papers have a way of grounding a gallery wall or collection and bringing a new sense of balance to the entire space.
