Welcome to the most intimate and dynamic corner of my artistic practice. My Carnet de Voyage (Travel Journals) are more than just sketchbooks; they are visual diaries where time pauses to make room for pure emotion. In this gallery, you can explore sketches and impressions captured on location, rendered with the immediacy and freshness that only plein-air watercolour can provide.
The allure of the Travel Journal lies in its authenticity:
- On-Location Sketching: Every brushstroke is influenced by the fleeting light, the breeze, and the sounds of the environment. Here, precision gives way to the raw truth of the artistic gesture.
- Visual Storytelling: From ancient architecture to the intricate details of nature found along the way, each page is a fragment of a story that bridges physical travel with artistic discovery.
These sketches are the lifeblood of my studio practice. Exploring these journals is an invitation to travel alongside me, uncovering the inspirations behind my larger-scale paintings. Select pages are available as individual artworks, while the complete journals represent a transparent, unfiltered artistic journey.

Some of my Carnets are available for viewing in their entirety via video call or can be the starting point for a special commission inspired by your own travels. If a place has moved you, I can recreate it for you in the fresh and authentic style of the carnet. Contact me to discuss.
