One of my favourite art practices at the moment is drawing quick, abstract landscapes in my local park with graphite and ink, inspired by 's course.

I LOVE drawing outside. I find my work flows in a way that I can't replicate in the studio.

On 14 June 2026 I'll be taking part in my local Bromham Open Studios event where you get to wander around the village, visit the studios of local artists and makers, get inspired by what you see and purchase handmade makes and art at lower-than-usual prices.

I'll have a few mystery bundles of sketches to purchase as well asy wild junrals and original artwork to see.

If you're local to Bedfordshire, UK, come and say hello!

Other artists and makers taking part include

I had such a fun time drawing birdsong with you all on my Studio & Wild Live session on Substack. Wish I could have been outside. The recording will be up soon if you want to watch the replay and draw the birdsong with me.

Join me at 12 noon today to draw birdsong.

Have you ever tried drawing birdsong?

For me it helps me to embody the song, feel it in my body. When I look back on the drawings they take me back to that moment.

Join me today for a live demo on Substack of how to do this practice and feel the birdsong transform from a wall of background sound into a symphony of relationships of which you are part.

Bring a pencil, paper and join me outside.

Every month I do a Studio & Wild Live session on Substack.

This February I shared some studies of abstract landscapes I'm doing with India ink. I was getting to know my tools better in the studio so that when it stops raining I can go out and create abstracts in the landscape more easily.

Abstracts are amazing at communicating energy and feeling and are actually very hard to do well.

How do you feel about abstract?

“When Laurens van der Post one night
In the Kalahari Desert told the Bushmen
He couldn’t hear the stars
Singing, they didn’t believe him.”
- from David Wagoner’s poem ‘The Silence of the Stars’

Some new work emerging on grief and love and oceans and starry skies made with India ink, Woad watercolour, salt and gold bronze powder.
