Sketchbooks

Sketchbooks have always been a fundamental part of my daily practice as a landscape artist. I use them to record my emotional responses to the raw beauty of the landscape as I travel. I am drawn to epic and wild landscapes such as the coast of Cornwall or the majestic mountains of the Scottish Highlands. I work spontaneously with inks and pastels to capture colour and textures that reflect a unique sense of place.
