is hopeful and expectant. Today Sadie
is thriving and healthy. Her expressions
of love and excitement and her utter
joy at being alive are all communicated
through her movements. I’ve learned
that it wasn’t through looking into
Sadie’s eyes that I felt a connection, it
was through watching how she moves
through space and time with quirky
and quizzical head tilts, an incessantly
wagging tail and a happy little gait, that
I know what she is feeling. By capturing
the shape, movement and action of
animals we can tell a different and often
more human story through our art.p About Town, watercolour on paper,
