Fun with Wool

From muddle to meaning - this seems to be what I'm exploring!

'A Meander In Beijing'

This book of my pen and ink drawings shows scenes and cultural items that were of interest to me as I explored Beijing from 2000 to 2003. Alongside each sketch are narratives about Chinese culture. Copies of the book and prints may be purchased by emailing me at mpsweeney36@hotmail.com

About Me

Pippa Sweeney: I originally qualified in Interior Design but after sketching colonial buildings in Australia, returned to the UK and started working as a freelance illustrator. I became a member of the Chartered Society of Designers. It was only when I had my own children that I start writing poetry and this has been a continuing passion for me.... In 2000 I moved with my husband and children to Beijing where I wrote and illustrated my book 'A Meander in Beijing'. I exhibited this work and gave a series of talks to local school children on Chinese culture. In 2009 I was awarded a bursary by Waterford County Council to attend a writing course facilitated by Oisin McGann and subsequently attended Adrienne Geoghegan's Picture Book Writing Course in Dublin. I am a member of the West Waterford Writer's Group and in 2010 had the privilege of presenting my children's poetry at the internationally acclaimed 'Immrama Festival of Travel Writing' in County Waterford, Ireland. I am currently living in Falmouth, studying a one year full-time Masters in Illustration: Authorial Practice - with a view to combining my love of writing and illustrating for children.
