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…

  1. Hi, I’m Debby and I’m a bit of a late-comer…
    I live in Canada. In Edmonton, AB in the winter and in Fraser Lake, BC in the summer.
    I’ve been sketching for almost a year and I’m hooked, although, I am still not in the habit of carrying around my sketchbook.
    I have a flickr account that I just opened and don’t know how to use yet
    and a blog, ditto, still learning –

    Hi, I’m Rebecca, I live in Brazil. I attended your class on the 2014 USk symposium (i’m the girl who borrowed your scarf!) and I’m excited about learning more. I’m on the last semester of a degree in teaching Visual Arts and I draw and paint with watercolor, mostly on pocket sized sketchbooks. You can see some of my work here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/skywilling_
