Drawing and painting have been my sanctuary through lock-down. My work gave me a focus when I felt overwhelmed, structure when there was none and peace and calm in a busy world of image and information overload.

And that’s why I’m passionate about getting people to draw. Because it isn’t just about making a mark on a piece of paper.

The Seasonal Sketchbook was a year-long project (Oct '20 - Sept '21) of creative prompts, visual inspiration and creative techniques that I posted online when I couldn't teach face to face. Please feel free to take a look through the posts to see if they inspire you. If you like what you see please feel free to support me by 'buying me a cup of tea' or sharing the posts so we can get more people inspired to draw.
