Andrea Boyer




I adore skilled observational drawing and Italian artist Andrea Boyer (1956- ) is a master.
Born in Milan, she originally specialized and trained in set design. In a long and very successful artistic career she has explored many different media and artistic expressions, including photography, painting, printmaking and drawing.

Carol Hopper II



Carol Hopper also draws incredible portraits often of those on the fringes of society, from criminal photo shoots to castaways and down and outs Carols work captures photo real faces but with the empathy and soul of hard earned observation and rendering.

Carol Hopper I



Stunning drawing from American self taught artist Carol Hopper. Her drawings make the mundane extraordinary in their detail and finish and soulful observation of forgotten details. Thank you

Lee Price II






More wonderful examples of out of body self portraits and portraits of women by Lee Price 

Lee Price I



 I am drawn to the aerial perspective, intimacy and realism of these works by Lee Price.
"My paintings are self-portraits. In most of my paintings, what I want to get across is a sense of distraction. How we grasp for things that distract us from being present when the present is too uncomfortable for us to sit with. How this "checking out" (or compulsion) often creates more harm than if we had just sat with the discomfort in the first place. I think the best ones show not only the negative aspects of this behaviour but also the comfort that's found in doing it... and the absurdity of it." Lee Price
