Another hidden world depicted in Ganz's latest exhibition at the Albany Gallery, Cardiff,
is Swansea's nightlife, which she drew and painted from life in clubs such as Escape, Time and Icon.
The show also features portraits of jazz musicians (for which she is well known) and spectacular
landscape scenes from around the world. Ganz loves to travel Over the past year she has visited places as diverse
as Brazil, Provence and Norway, and on every trip she has sketched and painted. "It's a case of have paintbrush,
will travel," she says. "I'm like Linus with his blanket I wouldn't dream of travelling anywhere without my
sketchbook it's always in the bottom of my suitcase."
