Many people ask how Mary can create such intricate pieces of artwork, and her first answer is 'practice'! There is more to that reply though... She writes "I usually have a sketchbook or notebook nearby and will often doodle freehand Celtic knots and patterns, lettering and colour, whilst the world trundles on around me. In this book I am both sharing some of my doodles and extracts of my work and encouraging you to try doodling on the blank pages. I call it 'DOODLING WITH INTENT'! I never know what the final images will look like but I do know that the doodling helps to keep my work fresh. Perhaps you'll discover with me some of the benefits of doodling!"
