Drawing on Fidra. Photo credit: Kittie Jones.
Wynona works in materials that offer immediacy when drawing subjects directly from life, most often inks, graphite, charcoal and soft pastel. Drawing is at the core of her practice and often forms the finished work. Gestural line and partly abstracted shape and form convey familiar subjects. She explores mark making, as a filter between true representation and emotional response.
