As a practicing architect, one of my prime means of communication is with on demand sketching and design drawing. With the immediacy of the sketch and the drawing comes the slow increase of delight as the sketch is created, line by line, dash and dot, hatch and scribble.  This feeling of delight comes from the sensation of the mind and hand working together in tandem, and can be described as a feeling of “in the flow” calm at times and of frenzied energy at other times.   The action of drawing on paper, on a wall, or on a digital tablet are all a part of the creative process of the engagement of the hand and the mind in a very cool flow of energy from within to without and on to the receptive surface. 

I am always prepared to investigate ideas and problems through many varieties of drawing and painting techniques, and I am at the ready to encourage the guesses and the attempts that will allow me to see all of the other possibilities that lie within a scenario or a problem.  When you draw, your sensibilities awaken to the other layers and the understanding of the problem gets denser and richer and links to other real and imagined realms.
