| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I studied art and industrial design in the mid sixties - did the graphic artist thing for 2 years then decided to take up an offer to go to Caribbean and look after family business. It took me 30 years to go back to my painting. But it is now my passion - abstract painting.
I can work all day in the studio and not notice the time going by. Art is life, life is art. |
