Rebecca Lee - Artist Statement:

Drawing is what engages me. In any drawinng medium whatsoever, I can be inspired to explore new areas of form and beauty .

This started whilst I was a young child, being given pens and paper to keep me occupied on journeys, something I have continued to this day. I don't travel anywhere without a sketchbook and a pencil. What was once a hobby has taken on a huge role in my life and allows me a new channel to express myself to others and to communicate with other artists.

My favourite mediums are pencil, biro and fine liner. Although these are not completely traditional I like the freedom these give me. I feel that they work perfectly for my mind set and allow me to get down on paper the ideas whirling around in my head. I have recently also begun digital painting using Photoshop and am finding that it makes painting so much easier and is rapidly becoming a useful tool.

My influences are wide and varied. Most recently my biggest inspiration comes from the human body itself and trying to capture movement on paper. I also find reading a variety of books from comics to psychology papers offers a wide array of subject matter to explore and build upon.

I create a lot of detail in my pieces....
