To celebrate International Women’s Day I am posting some of my favourite paintings, sketches and photos of women from my travels over the years.
I would also like to remember those women closest to me, my friends, sisters, daughters and mum, who without whom I would be nothing.
Here’s to strong women
May we know them
May we be them
May we raise them
