Art quality Giclée print on soft white cotton paper
Original drawing - oil pastel on paper
21 x 29cm
This was draw at an exotic plant drawing workshop in 2016. It was the week I was completing the Urban Artventuring London series and one evening I treated myself to draw plants instead of buildings. I can’t remember the name of this plant now though, wish I had noted it down. This and the Peachy Monstera drawing came so easily, I was so happy to be surrounded by such gorgeous examples of the natural world.

This is the beginning of a series of work that has been inspired by the #BLM revival following the murder of George Floyd. The power of this movement has inspired me to look at my creative practice with a new lens, and to question how I operate as an artist.
Admittedly I have found what has been going on to be very overwhelming (my white fragility clearly showing), and so in mid June, I reached for my paints and paper to ground and centre myself in the best way I know how - painting botanical forms. I was using some photos I took from a visit to the Copenhagen botanical gardens and whilst painting this first piece it dawned on me that even this was not an innocent scene.
The history of botanical gardens is inextricably linked to European colonial rule across the globe. It became even clearer to me on that day in June how it is just another example of how the western world has taken what it found valuable, interesting or ‘exotic’ back to its homelands and used it to its advantage, often to the detriment of the countries they came from.
Exploring this complex connection of botanical collections, colonialism and the world of adventure artists will be part of my journey of doing the work to becoming an effective anti-racist and ally to the BIPOC communities around the world.
I know it will be messy and hard, I’ve already made some mistakes and inadvertently hurt people along the way. But I pledge that I will do my bit to work on myself as well as my local community and social platforms.

When in Oaxaca I spend a lot of time out in the countryside and drawing in situ in remote landscapes as well as the city. In early March it rarely rains but when it does it is torrential and powerful and it feels so exciting to be out dancing under the leaves.

When in Oaxaca I spend a lot of time out in the countryside and drawing in situ in remote landscapes. Painting and drawing in wild places is one of my biggest joys and is where I find most of my inspiration. This is a nopal cactus, one of the plants i love most here in Oaxaca. So sculptural and fun, they create the most beautiful sillouettes on the skyline.

When in Oaxaca I spend a lot of time out in the countryside and drawing in situ in remote landscapes. This print is of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca state, a stunning agave studded landscape lying languidly beneath the burning midday sun. There is something jewel-like about these majestic plants and they are of endless fascination to me.

Where is your favourite swimming spot in London?
in 2015 I completed a series of drawings based on my connection with water in London and it's vital role in keeping me sane and able to live in a frenetic city.
Swimming is essential to my wellbeing. My main outdoor swimming spots in the capital are: The ladies pond in hampstead heath, the London Fields Lido and the Serpentine Lido. I have also recently discovered the West Reservoir in North London too which is wonderful!
There is nothing more cleansing than a dip in the open air, a communing with nature, a little hello to the ducks, or a stroking of your arm by a passing leaf.

The ladies pond on hampstead heath is a sacred little spot for me. It has seen me in many moods, has healed many wounds.
I once heard a couple of ladies in the changing room talking after a winter dip, saying how much more pressure on the mental heath services of the NHS there would be in the borough if the ponds didn't exist. And I completely agree.
When I am in a bit of a slump or feel like I am heading in a downward spiral, I prescribe myself a swim a day in the ponds to sort myself out. It works everytime.
Try it!
(ps. This was drawn before the refurbishment was done in case you wonder why the building looks different!)

Title: Home
Location: Greenwich Observatory
Description by patron:
This is going to sound really cliche, but because this view is what makes me feel like this little part of the world is where I belong - I feel rooted here. Having grown up in Kent, I moved to south west London when I started work where I met my partner, he and I eventually moved to Greenwich together as our first home. Now we live up the hill on the other side of the Heath but we still walk through the park almost every weekend without exception - it is my favourite place in London and I feel quite lucky to have found a place in such a big city that is mine and my home. The view over the rest of London from the Observatory always makes me feel this settled kind of happy feeling. I love views over big cities anyway, but there is something quite calming about being able to look out at a miniature Shard and St Pauls and Canary Wharf from the safety of a place away from the hustle and bustle and stress of working life in the busy streets of London.

Title: Canal Living
Location: The River Lea at 3 Mills Studios, Three Mill Lane, London, E3 3DU
Description by patron:
For many years the idea of living on a boat has appealed and when I moved to London I very nearly rented one at this location. I think it’s a lovely stretch of waterway for several reasons. The greenery, the peacefulness (usually ) and the local history and of course the runners and wanders that it attracts. I’m very lucky to now be living close by, although unfortunately not on the water.

Title: Beirut House 1
A4 Giclee art print (29.7x21cm)
I initially launched this Lebanese series for the explosion of August 2020 that damaged up to 8000 buildings in Beirut, 640 of those deemed to be of architectural heritage. Now a new tragedy is unfolding in Lebanon, the latest illegal Israeli invasion (Sept 2024) and I need your help in supporting an already vulnerable community of women refugees in Beirut.
Each print has been scanned and printed as an A4 giclée art quality print with all proceeds going to the OSHANA crowd funder campaign. They will be a signed open edition to allow as many sales as possible. See all Lebanese prints here.
Towards the end of our Shifting Sands adventure in 2014 we spent two weeks in Lebanon where I completed 14 Drawings. This is a drawing of one of the few remaining architectural gems of old Beirut. Many of these villas are being demolished to be replaced by lucrative sky rise apartment blocks. There is no official town planning regulation in the city hence these buildings not being protected.
This is a digital scan of an original sketchbook sketch by me in Lebanon in 2014 using a Moleskine book and Platinum Carbon Fountain pen with permanent ink.
If you do not have the funds to buy a print, please consider donating directly to the crowd funding campaign below or purchasing on of their beautiful creations in their online shop.

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE OSHANA CENTRE DATED 28th SEPTEMBER 2024
In the past few days, indiscriminate Israeli bombing across Lebanon has forced nearly all the 60 refugee families that Oshana supports to leave their homes again. Last night many slept on the seafront or in stadiums in search of somewhere safe.
The street where our centre is located was directly hit. Thankfully all our community are as yet unharmed, but as our embroidery artisan Nadia says: ‘We are very terrified. Where could we flee to? We go to sleep thinking this night would be our last. What terrifies me the most is the safety of my children. They are vey small. We fled the war in Syria and now we are living the same horror.’
We have set up an urgent crowdfunder and 100% raised goes directly to the women and community affected.

Description: Off the coast of Raouché, there is a natural landmark called the Pigeons' Rock (also known as the Rock of Raouché). Located at Beirut's westernmost tip, the two huge rock formations, which stand like gigantic sentinels, are a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
Raouché also is claimed to be the remains of a sea monster the Greek hero Perseus killed to save Andromeda. The stone is rock as Perseus used Medusas head on the monster to turn it into stone.
I initially launched this Lebanese series for the explosion of August 2020 that damaged up to 8000 buildings in Beirut, 640 of those deemed to be of architectural heritage. Now a new tragedy is unfolding in Lebanon, the latest illegal Israeli invasion (Sept 2024) and I need your help in supporting an already vulnerable community of women refugees in Beirut.
Each print has been scanned and printed as an A4 giclée art quality print with all proceeds going to the OSHANA crowd funder campaign. They will be a signed open edition to allow as many sales as possible. See all Lebanese prints here.
Towards the end of our Shifting Sands adventure in 2014 we spent two weeks in Lebanon where I completed 14 Drawings. This is a digital scan of an original sketchbook sketch by me in Lebanon in 2014 using a Moleskine book and Platinum Carbon Fountain pen with permanent ink.
If you do not have the funds to buy a print, please consider donating directly to the crowd funding campaign below or purchasing on of their beautiful creations in their online shop.

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE OSHANA CENTRE DATED 28th SEPTEMBER 2024
In the past few days, indiscriminate Israeli bombing across Lebanon has forced nearly all the 60 refugee families that Oshana supports to leave their homes again. Last night many slept on the seafront or in stadiums in search of somewhere safe.
The street where our centre is located was directly hit. Thankfully all our community are as yet unharmed, but as our embroidery artisan Nadia says: ‘We are very terrified. Where could we flee to? We go to sleep thinking this night would be our last. What terrifies me the most is the safety of my children. They are vey small. We fled the war in Syria and now we are living the same horror.’
We have set up an urgent crowdfunder and 100% raised goes directly to the women and community affected.

Buying an Oshana item or gift is also a direct way to help and money will get to them just as quickly. So please buy any Christmas presents in advance now. Lots of links below.
This is a direct way to help communities impacted at this moment, please forward this email to other people you think might be able to contribute.

Title: Beirut House 1
A4 Giclee art print (29.7x21cm)
This was a view from a cafe in the Hamra district of Beirut where we were drinking yet another coffee on our Shifting Sands trip in 2014. I love drawing random streets and recording the variety of shops and buildings - the everyday. What struck us was the array of knitted sculptures formed of electricity cables that are often dangling like unfinished crochet projects in front of the patchwork of facades.

An excruciatingly terrible freelance design contract sends me into a downward spiral of despair. This job is soul destroying, completely against my values, zero creativity and in a grim characterless office full of unfriendly people. I walk the streets of soho crying every lunchtime until I happen across soho square and then everything changes. A row of banana plants in the central flowerbed seem to be waving cheerfully and beckoning me over. Their voluptuous curved forms are so utterly full of life and love and cheekiness and fill me with so much joy and gratitude.
I am restored!
