When learning botanical illustration, my first (and main) port of call is researching the works of other illustrators and attempting to emulate the detail and precision that they achieve in their works. This is a very different way of studying […]
Thank you Arts Council England! My Neurophototherapy R&D project has had the most profound impact on my practice and in my life too. The gifts of Neurophototherapy have included collage, and a deep immersion in the collage form and […]
