Pen, Ink and Watercolour

This style of drawings started in my sketchbooks and journals, but have been taken on a life of their own.  They are a way to celebrate my environment, they are quicker and freer than my coloured pencil work.  Some of them are done from life but the majority are created from photos that I take during my normal day of what catches my eye and needs to be celebrated.  The original drawings are mostly in my journals, but the beautiful quality prints are available for you here.

I am available for commissions if you would like your house or garden drawn, see my commissions page for more information.

Buda is a beautiful historic house in Castlemaine. You can visit the house and garden and it has a fascinating history. I love this birdhouse built in the courtyard.
