Hello, Welcome
Metadrawer is me, Helen Frost.
Metadrawer is blog of my reflections on drawing. I draw to think, to explain, to communicate, to record and to express myself.
Metadrawer is a search for meaning, a space to reflect and a chance to connect.
You can see more of my work at Helen Frost: Seeking sublime gestures.
