Insight
After an early life in Newcastle was swapped for a teenage in South Wales due to parental divorce I had trouble fitting into life in the valleys, it was tough and we were poor but I had my drawings.I only passed two exams at school but managed to finish well on an Illustration HND and had what some would say is a wonderful life until a good dose of Covid made me remember that I must make as much of my art as I can, while I can.
