I attended the School of the Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University from 1976-80, and graduated with a BFA in Interior Design. The ability to draw has served me well through early stints in technical illustration and exhibition design/build work. Now working for the Smithsonian, I still have opportunities to draw, even for pleasure, though not as many as I would like. 

What you see here is a collection of odds and ends spanning nearly 30 years. Some usually hang in our home, a few ride in my portfolio, but the majority move from office to office with me, resting on shelves or in boxes. Looking at any of them, I can recall parts of their creation: the heat from the lamp, the sounds around me,

 the difficulty—or ease—in getting the image in my mind to flow out of my fingers. I hope that you will find pleasure in viewing them as I did creating them. 

To end, I have not included any of the drawings I have done for exhibitions. They don't lend themselves to framing, and the originals end up either with clients or buried in project file folders. However, there is a telling sign of my profession on these walls: please note that I provided a label for every piece. 

Enjoy!
