  Thanks so much. I have always travelled with a sketchbook and a camera, and am now going through all my old visual memories, trying to turn them into larger pieces of art. So, I’m really glad you like my work. Maybe you could like my facebook travels with my art page too, where I put I work more regularly, here’s a link, I hope it works. https://www.facebook.com/ali.dunnell.

Loved this! Looks like you’ve been all over the world, Ali – and the sketches are such a refreshing perspective of the places that we usually see in photos.

  Thank you so much… I try to imagine my sketchbook as postcards and try to get a snippet of life from different places I visit.
