Curiosities of the Ancient has been a full circle of sorts. This drawing began in my college days as an assignment. for one of my art classes. I do not know what drew me at the time to ancient ruins and artifacts but I must have felt a pull as many years later, looking through my portfolio I found this drawing again. I looked at it with fascination and awe. Fascination because I have been down a rabbit hole lof ancient curiosities for a few years now and have realized how much I adore learning about ancient history and cultures. Finding this drawing from my past was as if the universe sent a wink saying I knew then that this would be a part your present. And I was also in awe looking at this drawing because I have experienced ups and downs with confidence in my creative abilities and doubts in the pursuit of it. Finding this piece and reworking it has reinvigorated my creative sensibility. And I am proud to be able to present it to all of you.
Curiosities of the Ancient is done in pencil and charcoal and features artifacts and architecture such as the Hagia Sophia from Turkey, the Taj Mahal of India, Nefertiti Bust, The Lion Capital of Ashoka, the Colosseum of Rome, a Greek urn, and Cizhou vase from China.
