Solitude is Sweet!

March 24, 2020

As I write this the social and economic landscape of the world is changing at break-neck speed.  At times it feels like you're on the edge of a cliff that's slipping away right in front of you. And then you see the blue sky and consider that this is nature telling us all to slow down and do things differently.  Nature is telling us to stay safe by staying put!

Yoga Desert Detox

February 14, 2020

It's Valentines Day today and for many our focus is on acting out the romantic cliche of love, be it giving chocolates, flowers or even a ring to someone special in our lives. We often forget to show some love to ourselves throughout the year but last month, after working intensively at a trade show in Las Vegas, in the middle of a cold, wet, winter, I headed on the infamous Route 66 to the desert in California in search of some self care, stopping at an iconic American diner on the way.

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

December 10, 2019

Although most of my artwork is focussed on describing a specific location in my own, whimsical way, I get to draw places at different times of the year.  I've drawn lots of coastal and holiday destinations, basking in the sun, as well as winter hideaways and resorts, covered in mountain snow, such as this beautiful illustration of Aviemore that I created for Visit Scotland, featuring lots of ardent skiers and snowboarders!
