I use my sketch books to record the visual language I see when I travel. I may work out ideas for compositions, experiment with colour combinations and note my response to the landscape. My goal is to commit the visual and sensory information to memory through drawing in order to capture the essence of place on a 2D plane.

My Costa Rica sketchbook has a very different colour palette and botanical shapes inspired by Nature
