This drawing captures a crow through simple, confident marks. The softened edges and muted tones give the bird a quiet, almost watchful quality.-Artist: Lucia ChinaleongWhat inspires the artistThere is no single source of inspiration. Rather, it is the simple impulse that when something holds a certain beauty, it asks to be drawn, perhaps as a way of understanding it. The artist often returns to botanical studies, watercolor abstractions, and loose, scribbled drawings.
