Welcome

Thank you for joining me here, Substack is now the home of my blog and newsletter, and I hope you will become a regular visitor here.

Here you can escape the rush of the everyday to bring a few slow moments into your inbox. You can follow my sketchbook adventures in the Norfolk countryside, connect with nature, and hopefully be encouraged to pick up a pencil and draw too.

Why Subscribe

I am a painter and printmaker and I will share how I work alongside the joys and bumps of the creative process. I have recently undertaken a project to record, in drawings and paintings, a place called Wortham Ling, an area of ancient common land where I live in the Waveney Valley. I will be showing you my ongoing work and the discoveries I make as I progress.

There will also be regular posts featuring the work of neglected and overlooked women artists, particularly from the early to mid 20th century, and I hope to shine a light on their work and lives. You can read more here.

I will share sketching, painting and printmaking techniques and you can discover more of these here. If you would like any help or have any questions, do drop me a line and I will do my best to help.

And in each post I include reading discoveries and old favourites, poetry and podcasts, gardening and seasonal delights, along with anything that I think you will enjoy too.

My posts appear fortnightly on Thursday mornings and will arrive in your inbox when you subscribe.

I do hope you will join me, it would be lovely to have your company.
