My underlying self is someone who loves to draw. I love to use colour. I enjoy the physical act of mark making on a surface. The quiet places that I can discover on this busy little island help me find solace with my maker. I have time to stop and stare – it is so visually exciting! I hope to communicate the magic of what happens by my absorption with what is in front of me. If that is my underlying self – so be it.
