I’ve just organised an urban sketching club in my area. Saturday was our first outing with a grand total of three artists sat in a rapidly getting colder park. I’m still working on being a ‘messier’ sketcher and this seems […]

Today’s appointment was with Eui Jeong Yoo; a visit to his solo show that ends today, hence the haste to make sure we didn’t miss it. Won has been impressively efficient and thorough organizing a schedule that includes meeting up […]

It’s been a patchy week in terms of making time for my own work; business appointments and writing applications to register our company, parenting and the day job. I feel unsettled and uneasy; I need the mental downtime that writing […]
