Interests and Personality

BiographyBorn in London, left when I was 3 for Kent and still there. Wanted to go to Art college when I left school but didn't think I was clever enough at the time! Got a boyfriend instead, then a F.T job, then mortgage....20 years later, no boyfriend, a falling down house and am in F.T education (hence the 'grungystudent' name tag!) - should have had more confidence in myself years ago...still a bit of an issue, but getting there despite those who claimed to be amongst my nearest and dearest doing their best to make me feel bad about myself.
Intereststrying to figure out what's the point in anything and everything - but loyal friends and family are helping me steer through some of life's nastier, whiter rapids!!!
MusicDon't really have favourites but a quick glance at my cd collection shows INXS, Franz Ferdinand, Coldplay, R.E.M, Robbie W, Rolling Stones, Talkingheads, (Neil Sedaka - sad I know, but what can you do?!), Red Hot Chilli Peppers...
FilmsLife of Brian, LOTR, chick-flicks - anything really (but no horror - I'm a wimp)
TelevisionDr Who, Torchwood, Corrie,and DIYSOS (just to remind me that a total wreck of a house CAN look half decent - eventually...walls and floors are superfluous anyway - so the other half said before he left me with a wreck!!)
Booksanything and everything - Fave classic: Moll Flanders - Fave modern: Shopaholic series
HeroesMy mum, dad, sister and some close friends who see the best and worst in me and yet are still on my side during the tough times that always catch me unaware and try to stop me hitting the self destruct button (and answer my not so civilised time of day - or night phone calls!!!)

Hi ....Glad you got a chuckle out of WOW...thats a hot pepper. I have much more work but don't think I could post most of it.Last time , security led me out of the building. I took a refreshing dip in your pool, and swam through your lovely gallery.Only coming up for air, as needed. I must say your sculptures are compelling and displayed with beautiful shadows & rich blue tones of light.Then I dove down deeper and your untitled piece of the TREE had me rivited & gazing for what seemed like forever.....I loved it. I wanted to climb straight up to the top and scout around the landscape. Very cool.Must have passed out...never could hold my breath for very long.Woke up on an empty beach with sand up my nose....blah. Anyhow, all kidding aside. You have very nice work....keep on swiming the waters fine. ROCK ON.....BLADE.

Hi Grungy! Love your sense of humour and your Heroes. Don't be too shy about your art. Art schools are only a tiny tool (my father used to teach) and their judgement totally irrelevant: what you have to say is far more important. Keep going! (a good movie: Little Miss Sunshine)
