How did you first become interested in art, and when did you decide to become a professional artist?
Over 40 years ago I was hooked on the magic of Tony Hearts painting programme on BBC. I loved the way he put together paint and paper in what seemed a haphazard way, only to reveal an amazing artwork at the final stroke. So, I became interested in making and creating at an early age, but never thought I had the skill to follow it professionally. I started painting 4 years ago and am moving towards what I hope is professionalism one painting at a time.
