My interest is in capturing people who don’t know I am looking, because I don’t want them to pose. My sketches are not portraits; a likeness is a bonus, not a goal. The fact that people rarely keep still, adds a tantalizing extra challenge.
Live Music
I love the way live music gets inside me and influences the way I sketch, adding movement and energy to the work. I am sometimes so involved, I am bouncing up and down while I am drawing.
Public Transport
I regularly sketch on the train and often show people when I’m done. The theatre of this attracts conversation from other passengers. These random connections with strangers are part of the experience.
