One of the reasons why I love the International Urban Sketchers community is that no matter where you are in the world you can always find other urban sketchers to sketch with and make new friends. We recently had three overseas sketchers visiting Perth at the same time, one from Malaysia, Singapore and Nairobi. What […]
Urban Sketching : UWA Perth Up Market
Not realising that we scheduled our monthly meet up at UWA (University of Western Australia) on the same day as the Perth Up Market made our sketch meet a serendipitous event. The Perth Up Market was established in 2008 and initially held at the Perth Town Hall but with its growing popularity, the markets moved […]
6 Small Reasons to Love Bali in 4 Short Days
Departing from my regular busy Bali type holiday staying in the more energetic and very commercial and tourist dense Kuta ,we chose to visit a more quieter part of Bali, Sanur (on the recommendation of our neighbour who just returned from a family holiday the day I spoke to him). Some cringe at the mention […]
A Day Trip to the Swan Valley
Gazing across the delightful country style garden under the cerulean blue sky I sat cheerfully like a child, awaiting my order of home baked scones with strawberry jam and fresh cream. The warmth of sun led me to falsely believe it’s Spring, but it’s actually the beginning of Autumn. And this was part of our […]
On Board Air Asia D
So I’ve just busted out my cheese and crackers that I bought at the airport kiosk for most probably $20 with great enthusiasm, whilst surrounding me and my small Asian nostrils was the fragrant aroma of Air Asia meals that other passengers had thoughtfully pre-purchased prior to boarding their flight, most likely at time of […]

Constructed in 1896 and was officially opened in 1900 by John Forrest, the first Premier of Western Australia. The observatory is located at Mount Eliza (near our iconic Kings Park) overlooking the city of Perth. […]
Bubbles of Happiness : Sketching in Kings Park
Oh how I love bubbles! To me happiness is bubbles . So when a dear friend of mine asked me for a bubble date I excitedly accepted. My side plan …….was to blow bubbles and sketch (although my friend is a bubble blower not a sketcher) We both agreed Kings Park was the best […]
Morning Walk to Trigg Beach
You’ve probably heard me say this before but I enjoy the fresh ocean air. I find it revitalises me and invigorates my soul. Actually, you know what would really be invigorating? Going for a dip in Winter! Which is what it is right now. But that would be crazy! ….maybe a little too invigorating for […]
Going Green in Northbridge Piazza
My fingers were freezing, why I chose to sketch outdoors whilst I waited for my elderly parents to have their hour massage is baffled me. I did have second thoughts, but I really wanted to take the opportunity to do a standing sketch (every possible place to sit was wet due to the rain we […]
