Welcome to my art musings

In this art blog, I’ll be covering all things creative: some techniques; my studio processes; the industry as a whole; workshops and classes and anything which I feel needs a little chat about!

First though, who am I?

Well that’s a hard thing to write, without it beginning to sound like a CV. So I’ll be brief, which isn’t easy because I’m now in my 50’s and I’ve done a lot of things!

I’ve worked in the creative industry - always in visual imagery in one form or other. Mostly I worked for record companies and commissioned photoshoots and music video shoots. I also worked for a time as a photographer (in the US) and was a judge at International photography fairs. I have owned an art gallery, written and photographed for magazines and NGOs. I shot a personal project about contemporary Native American Culture, which was exhibited at a museum both in the US and UK. The museum brought across some of those people I photographed to run workshops here in the UK.

More recently on my return to the UK, I had a sudden urge to do a screen printing course. I just loved it! It was like being in an Aladdin’s cave of fun - getting messy with paints! I decided I needed to start painting again, having not tried it since my art A’level many, many moons ago.

Since then I haven’t stopped and I’m so thrilled to be doing this full time now. I’m also getting to the point where I feel I can share some of the knowledge I’ve acquired and hope to start running some art classes very soon.

So please, grab yourself a cuppa, and settle in to see if any of these art musings resonate with you. Perhaps you’ll like to comment, agree or disagree or add your own opinions.
