Whenever I travel, I always bring at least one sketchbook or journal with me and fill it with drawings, doodles, random thoughts, sketches of people done in cafes while I sit sipping a Pimm’s, as it were. Making this art, keeping these journals and sketchbooks, it’s how I connect with a place when I travel, making memories that feel stronger and deeper because of the creative process involved with putting pen to paper.

My trip involved visiting many different places all over England and Scotland, including London, Newcastle, Liverpool, Edinburgh and the Outer Hebrides. Museums are always an essential part of any trip for me and that is evident in these pages, capturing moments from so many brilliant exhibits and galleries I was lucky enough to visit.
