I recall at the age of nine I created my first mural on the school assembly hall wall – I remember everyone loved it. That gave me my first buzz! This and many other similar early achievements convinced me that art was my calling, but I never wished to be a regular artist…
I don’t like to be pigeon-holed or confined to a single medium. I constantly seek a new challenge for myself or to at least push the realms of my capabilities. I love to experiment (I love science too). Whilst I am happy to wield a brush and paint with oils to canvas, I don’t see this as my niche. In the past, I recall wishing to hone my skills and mimic or be as good & as accurate in my work as the ‘old masters’. Nowadays though I rarely commit to these types of works and if I do its purely for my own pleasure and they rarely see the light of day. However, I do love it when I can fuse traditional mediums or skills with some new or modern techniques to create something really cool 🙂
