Sketchbook Stories

There’s something both grounding and exhilarating about standing in the landscape — among its shifting light, rising peaks, cliff edges and wind-torn seas. I’m drawn to these untamed, open spaces where scale and weather take over, and where time seems to move differently. In looking closely, moments begin to imprint themselves, settling somewhere between memory and imagination.

Sketching outdoors sits at the core of my practice. My sketchbooks are not just studies, but living records of encounter — quick lines caught in the wind, layered marks made in changing light. They hold the rhythm, atmosphere and feeling of a place. Over time, they have become quiet companions, carrying traces of landscapes that feel at once familiar and still unfolding.
