Chrys’ Q&A

Towpath 3 by Chrys Allen

What do you like?

Looking closely at nature.

What don’t you like?

Being stuck.

What inspires you at the moment?

I’m currently inspired by two things; walking drawings and the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. You should go. It’s a crazy yet fascinating place.

What do you like best about being an artist?

Every day is inspiring.
