Sketching History
My art comes from my travel experiences, imagination and passion for the environment.
I am proud to be an artist who has cerebral palsy.
I have always been a poet and writer, but my visual art came much later. I knew very little about drawing and painting until a dream one night where I discovered colours and brushes. This inspired me to buy my first kit of coloured pencils and a sketch book.
I have been painting and drawing ever since, and am now starting to experiment with photography. The red heart in my images is about the love I feel in creating each image, and about my connection to the person or animal I am acknowledging.
Redbubble is where I upload some of my favourite designs for purchase.
I use Redbubble because it allows you to choose whether you want my design on a t- shirt, a mug, a bag or almost anything you can think of.
These are great for gifts.
I also welcome commissions, if you are looking for something different.
