About Loz

Loz is not an artist. She is, however, an experienced life model. It was during a life drawing art class one night, that she was standing there, butt naked, not daring to flinch and she thought - ‘I really wish there was a space in Canberra that people of all artistic abilities could experience this while drinking some wine’. When Loz went home, she cracked a bottle…. and The Tipsy Sketching Club was born. Learn more about Tipsy Sketching.
