The artist’s book
Sketchbooks are my dream space, where I save my favourite experiments for later exploration. Most of my work comes in without much thought, it’s more right-brain flow than precision. I’ve never been a great planner, but I’m a great at daydreaming. I like to play with whatever inks I’ve made from the garden during whatever season we find ourselves in. I want to celebrate our sacred feminine mother nature, and remind myself that she provides everything while we are here on this adventure called Life.
