So I’ll go first…
I’m Liz (I think you all know that!)
I live in Sydney, Australia. I’m an architect by profession and worked 20 years on a range of residential and commercial developments, specialising in media projects. I’ve always drawn as part of my work but in 2007 discovered watercolour and started my first daily sketchbook. I haven’t stopped sketching since!
I’m very interested in architectural history and theory and drinking tea out of fancy china teacups… but I’m guessing you all know that too!
You can find me on: Facebook, Flickr, Google+, Instagram and Twitter using the buttons under ‘Connect on Social Media’ in the footer of this website.
Now it’s your turn…
Hello everyone,
Wow it took me a while to get to the end of this list! My name is Angela and I live in Conway, PA near Pittsburgh. I am an elementary school teacher. I have always loved art; especially drawing and watercolor. I have taken all 3 Sketchbook Skool semesters and Awesome Art Journaling. Really enjoyed Liz’s Sketchbook class and looking forward to this one. I consider myself a life long learner of art. I am on Flickr and Facebook. See you in class.

Hello I’m Laura. I live in Louisiana. I love to sketch all the wonderful things around me. Learning all the time. Enjoy Liz’s classes before through Sketchbook Skool had to come back. Looking forward to class
Hi, Laura, Spotted on Sketchbook Skool that you were just signing on. Glad to see you. Beth Trembley
Hi Laura
I hope you have managed to sort out your Flickr account 🙂
Hi, I am Susan Torgerson James and I live in Gainesville, Florida. I have a background of studying architecture, interior design, and textile design. I have worked at many things including my own children’s clothing design business, teaching, and I am now hand painting silk scarves and making a few women’s jackets and silk and linen tops.
I have been sketching for awhile and am a part of Journey Daybook where we make illustrated travel journals. I was lucky to be able to attend the USK Symposium in Brazil this year and I took a workshop with Liz. I am looking forward to improving my sketching and becoming a better Urban Sketcher. I love being a part of this global group!

Hi Susan! I decided to join the Foundations Class. You and Peggy are having too much fun and I too want to participate. See you later today when I’ll begin to catch up.
Hi, you two! have fun together today!
What an interesting and diverse group! I am so much looking forward to spending the next 12 weeks (well only 11 left) with you and Liz.
I am from Vienna, Austria (Europe) and it’s really nice to see some other Austrians in this course – so maybe the sketchcrawls in Austria will have more participants in the future. And I also recognize some fellow quilters – hello Helen Conway and Gloria Hansen.
I am so happy that Liz has finally decided to launch this course. I found her blog about 2 years ago and immediately realized that this is exactly the way I would like to sketch. I tried on my own and in some courses (yes – Sketchbookskool as well) and now I’m able to take a course with Liz.
Hi, I am Ev from Durban, South Africa. I am a stock photographer and food blogger , and haven’t really done much sketching since school days ( a very long time ago) so looking forward to this challenge. Have long been an admirer of Liz’s work, so I am hoping to learn a lot.
