Seafarer

This exquisitely patterned gorilla portrait is hand drawn in ink on fine art paper. Its natural forms and meticulous details reflect reality, while the patterns which create the forms are whimsical and unique to the artist's vision. Each permanent stroke of the pen is thoughtfully created by the artist's hand over many hours of quiet, purposeful drawing.

Kristin pays careful attention to the anatomy and the expression on the gorilla's face so that it both clearly reflects an individual animal and also evokes feeling. The detailed patterning Kristin creates adds a layer of surprise and ongoing fascination. The Magic is in the Details.
