As a child I would draw anything and everything - Art being the only subject in school I was ever really interested in, it seemed obvious and natural that I would study and become an art teacher in schools.

This never happened – having been offered a place at college to train as a teacher I realised that I wanted to paint and draw but didn’t particularly want to teach other (young) people to pass exams in the subject, so instead, I embarked on a career utilizing my second love – photography. I trained as a photo-journalist and later, with my wife Lynn, ran a very busy photographic and picture framing business. Framing other peoples work, was a constant reminder to me of what I wasn’t finding the time to do myself – paint.

The universe has a way of bringing you back to a particular path – now I have a busy psychotherapy/healing practice, and part of my work is in schools, amongst other things I use art as a bridge to communication with children and I teach and train various aspects of complimentary therapies in the UK and overseas.

The healing/energy part of my work also inspires me as I ‘see’ the way energy moves and the power of symbols, shapes, colour and imagery in the healing process.

I really enjoy designing and putting together book covers and websites for a number of writers. Lynn, is a medium and author of a number of books – visit her site if you want to know about her work and see her books – www.GoldenCloud.co.uk
