Drawing Movement
Self Portrait ⎼ Performance Drawing
Figurative drawing informs my art practice by exercising my own emotional responses and insights into myself and others. Stepping into the unknown, forming relationships and make connections through movement, exploration, carving space, decisive mark-making.

During a rehearsal I drew the dancers
“I drew on a table, on the floor
on the walls, my body moving and drawing,
inspired, emotional playfulness” (Elizabeth Nicholls 2021)
“Working with watercolour is tricky, it takes the rug from under you. I like the buzz I get working directly from a model, its like performance.”

DRAWING A MOUNTAIN
I’m ‘blind drawing’ observing a large paper mountain at the other end of the room
under the direction of artist Jacqui Stockdale
