“I’m 42 years old, a ‘late-bloomer’ who left art school abruptly 20 years ago to gain some life experience. And now I’m back. I was born in London, but now live in Wales and despite having visited lots of different countries around the world, I still find myself inspired by the kitchen sink and washing up paraphernalia in my own home. I’d much rather paint it than do it – as in, the washing up. And I’d also much rather be painting than doing IT. I like to think that’s a sign of maturity!”
