Drawing has always been part of my life. It comes as naturally as breathing. Early on I discovered that I could bring a great deal of joy to people around me through my various art projects. I taught art in schools in East Africa, Hong Kong, the UK and US.

 

Gradually I started to explore museums and galleries as venues for making as well as viewing art.  I was seduced by the magnificent histories of Objects, and developed a fascination with the expression they can find in a Still Life. Teaching is as central to my art practice as drawing and painting, it forces me to see through fresh eyes.  

​

In 2018 I started a weekly drawing group in my studio. In short a collective of close friends and neighbours.  We now call ourselves AnkaSKYstudio for the location in the expanded attic at my home. We come together to draw, paint, talk and keep sane, so necessary during the last four turbulent years. Our works include the political, and the playful, still lives and landscapes, drawn or painted in watercolor, comradeship and joy.
