Artist Statement

​

I take my sketchbook with me everywhere.  On the mountains, by the water and in the woods. Hay-on-Wye, in Wales, has inspired sketches of the ancient forests. Travel to Croatia, on Madjerkin Breg. observing and drawing the local traditions and culture have left me feeling warmly welcomed. Sarajevo, Bosnia has impressed and moved me with its war-torn history and the resilience of its people. 

My sketches reflect an ongoing practice of observation, visual inquiry and a keen desire to understand the day-to-day life in various cultures. As I draw and paint, I feel connected and at ease with the world.
