I’m heading to the South of France at the beginning of September with @_thebluewalk 😎

We will be walking, talking, laughing, eating many an ice cream AND filling our concertina sketchbooks with lots of collage and happy memories.

I have prepared my book with the usual - inks, resists and snippets of street scenes. I need to pack a few drawing and sticking materials and I’ll be ready to meet a creative group of adventurers 🙂😆👍🏽Follow us on @concertinasketchbooks

A bit more billboard love.

On my final day at @cambridgeartcube studio space I was winding down, thinking about all the clearing up that I had to do.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a wonderful crusty curling billboard poster draped across my path. Of course I had to take/collect/acquire/recycle this! 🤪It had my name on it!

Back in the studio it was just the shot of inspiration that I needed. In a frenzy of life size ripping and sticking I had the simplicity and clarity that I had been searching for.

I am really enjoying the ripped edges and sturdy delicateness.

Just hanging around waiting for me to get back in my studio.

I had a few days away teaching a sketchbook workshop @lundstudios and few restorative days in #gardousselretreat where I used to run art and yoga holidays, pre Instagram!

Sometimes it is so good to return to a slower pace of life in a small French village with little internet access but a lot of river swimming 🙏🏽

About Me

After attending Art College in Yorkshire I headed south, with my sketchbooks in hand to far sunnier countries: Turkey, Greece, India, Morocco, the Caribbean, and then eventually settling in New Zealand before returning to the UK ten years later.. Read More
