NASON STEPHENS

Artist Statement

Drawing, is the technique of representing an object or figure by means of line. My work attempts to focus on the pursuit of excellence in technique and medium. Using ebony pencil, I use hatching and gradients to achieve highly realistic creative works. 

My drawings are creative representations of profound experiences and stories that have shaped my time living in Columbus, MS.
