I've been planning on doing the Illustration Friday topic of the week – Fat – for a few days now. I'd thought that I'd do a slice of bread with a large dollop of butter on it :D.
Last night when I realised that that wasnt happening, I picked up a photograph of mine and made this. In the last two years, I've put on a lot of weight and one of the things, almost at the top of my Things To Do list is to lose some weight. Hopefully it will get actioned and wont just stay on the list.

I guess I would have to classify myself as a “self taught” artist not having an MFA or a BFA degree. I am a happy mix of self learning and a bit more formally from artists in workshops and institutions. And after over 15 years of figuring things out, I wouldn’t want it any other way!
The journey of understanding and making art, for me, is a continuous learning process: Improving existing skills, learning new ones and most of all growing with the experience. Drawing and painting are an integral part of my life, something I am passionate about. The blogs, Maya & draw the line, document the road traveled thus far.
People, their moods, interactions and emotions are an ongoing source of curiosity and interest. What I’m searching for is their inner personalities, their thoughts and there are stories I build around them as I work. I like portraying feelings of people when they are alone, lost in their thoughts, caught unawares. Those are the special moments that appeal to me most. I love to experiment and use a variety of medium ranging from oil, charcoal, printmaking, clay to the digital medium. Regardless, my focus remains fixed on the human form.
