It is my favourite thing to walk out into a new city, or into fresh landscapes, with a sketchbook, pencils and paints in my bag. 

​

 My hoard of sketchbooks is my visual library, whether I'm remembering old friends, conversations, story ideas or a perfect location, my sketchbooks are there for me.

​

 Both at The Royal Drawing School and on my BA and MA at Cambridge School of Art, the use of sketchbooks was highly encouraged which fostered an innate love for journal and sketchbook keeping, a discipline I have never lost.
