I love drawing and painting and will often work through both processes
to help inform my own textile work. Drawing is a very important part
of
my personal development and it is also extremely pleasurable. I will
try and spent one full day a week drawing and time in between if possible.
Drawing not only helps me to get to know my subject more intimately,
but
it also helps in the development of my work. I am extremely lucky to
have a truly remarkable art teacher with whom I study one day a week.
Cecily Sash is a well-established artist from South Africa, who has helped
me discover and improve my drawing techniques. The following are examples
of some of the drawings and paintings that I have completed under her
instruction as well others which I have done independently.
