Looking back, knowing what you know now, is there anything you would do differently?<br />
I may have taken advantage of a couple of opportunities to go back to study at Post Graduate<br />
levels, or maybe study at an European atelier, but I think I’d probably have made the same<br />
choices - there’s something to be said for finding your own voice in your own good time and<br />
protecting it from too much outside influence as it gestates. I’d try to go a little easier on<br />
myself at times - I think a lot of artists are extremely harsh self-critics... and I’d definitely take<br />
more regular breaks away from my easel! Those long hours can take a real toll on your body -<br />
it’s a mundane but valuable lesson to learn early!<br />
How do you see yourself in the future?<br />
My goals at the moment seem to be evolving into finding a quieter pace, letting the momentum<br />
of the last few years alter so I can see my next imagery and aspirations form steadily,<br />
progression seems to come as an organic step on from the last piece, horizons widen and so<br />
on, more and different characters and landscapes are appearing in my imagination and will<br />
find their way into my work in due course. Oh and I’d love another studio somewhere, so I<br />
can paint though the English winter somewhere warmer and with much better light!<br />
