Bin Lids

‘Down behind the dustbin I met a dog called Ted….’

Michael Rosen

‘Drawing is a way of seeing. When we draw something we really see it, and that is its great value. When we draw something we reveal it’s truth to all who look at our drawing. There is no substitute for this. Using a camera is a different process, valuable maybe, but different.’

Prof. Ken Howard OBE RA Hon SGFA (Taken from his forward in the SGFA Centenary Book ‘One Hundred Years- Society of Graphic Fine Art)

Beauty in the discarded; the abandoned and forgotten. Reclaimed by nature…

Taking part in residencies, community arts projects, giving lectures and tuition, illustrating books, theatre design, painting murals, these artists have much to contribute, their imagery always rooted in drawing.
