Sketch n’ Tell is my professional name under which I am engaged in a wide range of activities which

include : visual art and storytelling in schools, childcare centres, and community groups, commissioned art, exhibitions, murals and publishing of cards, prints and books.

Artists are seers ---- I strive to take notice of all aspects of life encompassing the wonderful to the ordinary.  Art and storytelling is then the language I employ to interpret what I see and seek to communicate with others.

Seeing is to have your breath taken away with the beautiful dimension of life, not only in the grand and majestic but also in the small and over looked.

Seeing is also to be moved by the dark side of life. Art seeks to empathise with the pain of others and the injustice in this world and reach out with compassion.

Seeing is to look at life differently. Creativity is to reflect deeply and look for underlying connections,  not to accept the status quo but be willing to go on a journey of enquiry and take risks.

Seeing is also to be open to the spiritual and sacred dimensions to life. Art explores the possibilities of faith hope and love in ones own life and others.
