Live Drawing at Auction Marts

My work captures energy and dynamic gesture within movement by drawing live, directly from a moving subject. I am currently fascinated by the theatre of the auction mart and draw live at sheep and cattle sales in the Upper Dales, north east England.

I try to capture the energy of busy, noisy mart days, drawing attention to this integral part of rural community, by inviting the viewer directly into the shared space through my expressive and responsive mark making.
