As the resident artist for the Waterloo Jazz Festival, I had the incredible opportunity to sketch and paint some of the most talented and passionate musicians from around the world. Ron Sherm, a local lad, was not only a gifted performer but also played a vital role in helping to organize the Jazz Festival each year.
I deeply connect with the profound feeling and emotion that musicians pour into playing their instruments, as I experience a similar intensity when creating my art. It’s like journeying inward, exploring the depths of your own soul.
Then majority drawings are made using a black ball-tip pen on sketching paper and I have carefully kept these almost intimate moments for more than ten years, and I now feel that the time has come to share them with others.
They have all been stored with glassine paper and any marks such as creases, happened when they were drawn - imagine, I was often standing on a staircase or even on stage and these drawings were made in quick succession….
