In 2020 during the Covid pandemic lockdowns, like many people, I found myself with quieter times at home and the opportunity to take short walks in my local area. These walks introduced me to a new way of noticing detail and taking a greater interest in the natural world around me. I used the time to sketch and draw more, focussing on botanical drawings that captured the detail and structure of trees. I worked from photographs, initially making small images, then I increased the size to make larger studies.
