I have been Urban Sketching for about 9 years. I joined after I saw videos on YouTube by Parka. Seeing people at a symposium looked like lots of fun! I attended the USk Chicago symposium and have been to every one since then. This is my tribe! I love meeting sketchers from all over the world and sharing our passion.  I live in San Francisco, a wonderful city with many great locations, such as ornate Victorians, museums, historic forts and great cafes! My sketches of the Dutch windmill, Victorian home and the colorful Blue Heron boathouse were all done on location with Fountain pens and wa ..read more

This painting was done on July 2023 by the lake. I was on a solo traveling to Queensland, Australia. I lived in Gatton for 6 months to work on a farm. Being alone without any friends to hang out with was quite miserable to me. I felt so lonely in the first two months, felt like I was lost in my own thoughts.

So a good friend of mine from Bali sent me a sketchbook and watercolor as I only brought painting brushes but left all the other drawing tools in Bali. Being alone wasn’t too bad apparently. I found my peace whe ..read more
