Learning from other artists has been instrumental in shaping my creative journey. Seeing how others approach their craft, experimenting with their techniques, and drawing inspiration from their styles has enriched my work and helped my artistic voice evolve. I find immense joy in sharing ideas and techniques through workshops and demonstrations. Since we took on the role of Directors at Ardington School of Crafts, my time for personal art has been limited—but If I were to give myself an artistic title, it would be Textual Artist, reflecting my fascination for letterforms. These days, my work leans toward the abstract, with a focus on artistic calligraphy rather than practical lettering. Lately, I’ve been drawn to mosaics and pottery, exploring how I might combine these with my textual art to create something truly unique. When I’m not working or creating, I’ll be playing competitive table tennis, cooking, or tackling building projects in our garden. My career highlights include authoring Textual Art (2015) and Textual Art II: Impact & Intrigue (2020), earning a Design Degree from the Open University, demonstrating at Art in Action (2015 & 2016), completing numerous commissioned works, and leading Ardington School of Crafts to inspire creativity in others.
