About the Item

"True North" is a graphite drawing on paper created by Cynthia Torroll. The artist signed this piece on the lower right of center. Artwork Size: 10 1/4" x 10 1/4" Frame Size: 17 1/2" x 17 1/4" Artist Statement: "I cannot remember a time when I wasn't drawing or creating. It's a daily practice and necessity for me. Due to crippling agoraphobia, I left college, so everything I've done is either self-taught or learned on the job. I spent 45 years in corporate America as a commercial artist all the while pursuing my own personal visions, some of which you'll see here. I have always been fascinated by the human state - the odd duality of being both physical and ephemeral simultaneously. This is my core inspiration and obsession. Since high school most of my work has been done with pencil. Now in my mid-60's I'm experimenting with collage, video and other media."
