Interests and Personality
| Biography | Proud of my Celtic roots, I moved to Carmarthenshire from Cheshire in 2004. Being half Welsh it must be the bottom half as I can't sing.
Good times and simple pleasures balance a responsible but very enjoyable job, which could be more enjoyable if it was better paid and left more time to follow artistic interests. |
| Interests | Beachcombing (collecting items to incorporate into works of art), wildlife, environment. |
| Music | I enjoy live music from classical to pop. Really like The Magic Numbers and Scissor Sisters, but James 'you cannot sing' Blunt is torture. |
| Films | Films that make me laugh. Often I get bored with them and find something else to do. |
| Television | Similar to films. |
| Books | Arty ones. |
| Heroes | Art comes from art: I remember going to the Matisse show and seeing how Matisse had taken one of his own paintings, worked from it and transformed it, and that had led on to the next one and the next. Anthony Caro
Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. Pablo Picasso
To be a painter now is to be part of a very small, endangered species. Howard Hodgkin
Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created. Albert Einstein |
