A sketchbook changed my life.

Let me show you how it can change yours.

I was 38 and hadn’t drawn since I was a kid. A tragic family accident sent me looking for the meaning of my life.

I found it through a simple habit: keeping a sketchbook diary full of drawings and words.

I’ve filled over a hundred sketchbooks. Together, we’ve travelled the world, healed from emotional trauma, experienced new materials, and improved my art skills.

Now I want to help you to do it too!
