Moving as a child from beautiful Bronte in Sydney with its cemetery on the beach and sandstone art deco architecture to the inner north of Melbournes bluestone lanes and leaden skies was a contrast that made an impression. My mothers (brendawalsh.com.au) drawings appearing before my eyes sparked my interest in drawing. Watching form materialize from the end of a pencil into existence had a magical effect that i wanted to explore. I currently draw inspiration from working directly from life without the aid of photo reference. The focus and concentration required can bring an immediacy and freshness to the work.
