Details
How would you describe the work you do and why?
Whether drawing, painting, printing, or working digitally, no matter the medium. This challenge was primarily a way to explore both my inner voice and artistic style and also to do something creative each day. I then post my image on social media. Since January 2021, I’ve created over 1,825 pieces. Some that I’m proud of, and others, not so much! I began with pencil and watercolour, and later incorporated digital work using a painting app on a tablet with a stylus.
For you what does being an artist mean?:
I draw inspiration from my local surroundings, my garden through the seasons, and places I’ve visited over the years. I have a particular fondness for trees and the sea.
Describe what you call yourself/your practice?:
I’m a graphic designer, and at the start of 2021 I set myself the challenge of creating an image a day.
