Sketchbook Collection 2015
I carry a couple of sketchbooks with me everywhere I go. They are a place to experiment and record the places I travel through - sometimes just doodles ideas and other times they are more crafted and prepared illustrations - I find drawing theraputic and medative.
I draw with anything I have to hand mainly Bic 'matic' pencils, also fibretips, brush pens and markers. I paint with watercolour, acrylic, coffee (no sugar), wine and occasionally I use collage. The backs of the sketchbooks contain rough work for my commissioned illustration projects.
In 2015 I filled 3 Flexbook sketchbook - my absolute favourite sketchbook ever:)

My mother found this drawing I did when I was 8 - not sure what inspired it, but obviously my facination with Ireland dates back further than my arrival aged 25:))
