Illustrator and pattern designer Angela Mckay loves to travel, and sketching is her way to encapsulate the new places she visits. “I try to work in situ, because painting outside forces me to be quicker than normal, to capture everything without focusing on small details ” she says.
She finds that unusual greenery and architecture are the things that most draw her eye. Mckay is a Thai Australian now based in Brooklyn, New York, but her sketches take you to Portugal, Italy or Morocco. “I would like people who see my work to feel like they are being transported to that place for a moment, like a little mini-holiday for your brain,” she says.
