Welcome visitors! Diane Smith here (aka Sabis). I am primarily a pencil portrait artist, though my love for creativity finds me dabbling in just about anything that can be considered art or design. As a rule though, to master a skill, one has to spend great quantities of time practicing it, and so you'll find little to none of my experimentation here! What you will find is some of my best pieces of lead work. I hope you enjoy what I have shared with you, and join me in my journey to realize the artist within!

Thank you for your visits, your critiques, your encouragement and your advice!

• everything you see can be reduced to shapes
• lighting is not just functional, it is essential
• everywhere you look, a new piece is waiting to be drawn, sculpted, painted or photographed.
• are OCD about art
• daydream often.
