‘Covidly Walking’: drawing with my boots on the hill
The Covid Walking project arose as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting UK Lockdown imposed in March 2020.
A hundred days of spontaneous wanderings in hill and forest…..drawing with my boots on the hill.
NEW: Delighted to have my artwork ‘Locking Down the Line’ bought by Aberdeen Art Gallery for their permanent collection, funded by the National Fund for Acquisitions.
