I am excited to be part of the Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project. I have been working on a book for the past 3 months. It is a series of coloured linocuts.

My artwork is about the environment, in particular the creatures that we share this planet with and how much they enjoy the environment as much as us. I want to keep this concept front of mind for the viewer. I travel around capturing little narratives that demonstrate their love of life.

The COVID_19 lockdown reduced my world to my house, studio and the backyard. I was uplifted by the noisy, happy sounds of the New Holland Honeyeaters flittering about in my apple tree. I then discovered there were many other birds enjoying our apples and our backyard. I decided to capture their visits and the gift the lockdown gave me of a whole community I may not have noticed otherwise.

Go to my portfolio page to see a selection of the prints from the book. There are 12 prints in the book and editions of these are all for sale.
