Studio Sneak Peeks
A blog about my work, research and processes. Printmaking, collage, drawing, folktales, history and wildlife.
E is for Eel
The Eel coils elegantly in the shape of a lower case letter “E”. Lurking at the bottom of the pond the eel looks as if it has just seen a tasty morsel and is getting ready to strike while the gently rippling water weed and bubbles bring the watery depths to life.

A bit about my Process: part 2
This time I will be talking about my series of illustrations inspired by the European Eel. This part of my four part newsletter is about how inspiration can unexpectedly strike and how it can often be a drip feed rather than a flood. It is about following up on those little things that you find curious in life because you never know where a walk might take you.
