About

The Town Mouse is Joanna Moore, a twenty-something compulsive drawer and architectural historian.

I studied Architecture and History of Art at university, and recently completed the postgraduate Drawing Year at the Prince’s Drawing School, where I won the Patron’s Prize. I have exhibited in Spitalfields, the Tea Building in Shoreditch, and the Prince’s Drawing School. All my work is produced from drawings done from observation. I never use a camera, and work on site, whatever the weather. My prints and paintings are re-worked from these original drawings, many monoprints are created on location.

When I’m not drawing, I can be founding working for a conservation charity, cycling through the streets of London, or baking or making huge quantities of home-made hummus. This blog is a personal diary of  her ambition to draw and make, her work, travels and inspirations.

Why the town mouse? It seemed appropriate for how she feels scampering around her favourite city and drawing on street corners.
