        My aunt looked at me the whole time I was drawing her. We did not talk…after a short while, she fell asleep. still not remembering who I am. We did not talk. I did not avoid her gaze in person, but noticed I did avoid, once I finished the sketch…

        Sometimes, we are more truthful on paper.

        It’s not a good sketch, and realised it’s sometimes harder to draw someone that you’re in some ways linked to closely.

                        Drawing is a way for us to make sense of a situation- at least for me!
                        This is such a beautiful, sensitive drawing. Well done!

                                They are not pretty. You capture the isolated helplessness of the sick woman. They are moving.

                                    Constance your drawings here are honest, evocative and expressive… these are a record and a memory.

                                        Oh my…these drawings are very moving….very tough subject matter done with an unflinching but compassionate eye…

                                            they are great jobs,

                                            your works tell stories or arouse great emotions, touch certain ropes, feelings without emotions as happens with these 2 drawings.

                                                Thanks David, Mac, Kate and Joe for your encouraging words.

                                                Thanks David, but I don’t think i deserve any title with the word ‘artist’ in it :) An observer is all that I am.

                                                The mere fact that you struggle with your art so much makes you an artist. If there’s no struggle it’s just a hobby :)
