About the Coffee Cup Drawings
"With Leech's diverse background in painting, video, ceramics, calligraphy and printmaking, the cup series began as a casual outgrowth of her compelling urge to draw wherever she is. One day, without a sketchbook handy, Leech used what was available in the moment. The curved form, challenge of working with existing shapes, colors, and text, and the infinite possibilities of expressive variation became as addictive as the caffeinated beverage the cup once contained. In addition to raising issues of consumerism, post-consumer waste and environmental concerns the cups are essentially about what drawing is: a conversation between mark making and surface."

Check out my blog: "Gwyneth's Full Brew: art and life in New York City, cup in hand"

I am a painter living in New York City and I draw rather compulsively on paper coffee cups. In my blog I am documenting the intersection of tea, coffee, art-making, art-seeing and daily life. I blog about family life in the city, exhibitions I go to, artists I meet, things I am working on in the studio and places to get a great cup of tea or coffee around town.
