A Life Painted in Doodles:
My journey in life began in 1967, surrounded by the love of learning thanks to my parents, both teachers. This fostered a love for reading that blossomed early, with me devouring Dad's sci-fi novels by the age of 7. Soon after, the worlds of fantasy and horror captured my imagination, leaving a lasting impact that continues to inspire me today.
While I initially pursued a career in agriculture, a shift in lifestyle and a return to those childhood interests led me to the exciting world of film. However, due to health reasons, the fast-paced media industry proved too demanding.
In 2010, seeking a creative outlet, I embraced art as a passionate hobby. My abstract works debuted in a Kingston Upon Hull exhibition in 2011. Following a period of social withdrawal, I received an autism (Asperger's Syndrome) diagnosis. This self-discovery coincided with a renewed exploration of artistic styles, culminating in my transition to digital art in 2017.
While doodling brings me pure enjoyment, it's also a way to connect with others. I find immense satisfaction in sharing these creations, many of which I gift freely.
Unemployed due to my disability, art has become more than a creative pursuit; it's a source of joy and a bridge to the world.
