Art journaling is somewhat different to sketch books. Its emotive and free form. Driven by intuition and feeling toward colour image mood.

Deeply personal there are probably thousands of versions of this currently and more throughout history. For myself its a free space to explore without judgement, to let out things I can’t put into words. It clears the pipes, eases my mind and has been hugely beneficial to my growth as an artist. As well as my mental health as a human.

I mainly work in altered second hand books that I choose for their contents, paper weight, and pressure less pages. I take something from the writing or choose a colour at random often I later discover the emotion I'm unearthing beneath these choices.

Sometimes I work with collage and mixed media which I have grown to love being a collector of paper all my life. patterns and images directing me to the next choice. I challenging process to explain but cathartic and essential.

Welcome to a cryptic view into my creative release and purging.
