Elle Smith Fagan is a still life artist who primarily works with charcoal and oil paints. She also is a published writer, which I think is important because people tend associate artists with being capable of just making art, so any living counter example is good to know of. This piece is a good example of a high key drawing. It is in an a high key even though it contains dark values out the range. It does a nice job representing a reflective translucent surface and has proper 1 point perspective.
