    Hi Drew

    I feel I should start by saying it took me AGES to get an artist statement I was happy with! I only have a couple of minor comments and they are my own personal opinion so feel free to ignore if they don’t suit.

    I would take the word ‘but’ out of ‘But I never know’. The sentence sounds stronger, more defined without it, like you like that part of the process.  I’m not sure about the ‘improvising’ part, to me it sounds like you are unsure of your artistry.  Would ‘I express specific feelings…..’ sound better? eg I express specific feelings through color and brush stroke, building even relationship between forms, against space, with line.
