Artists, Mentor, Motivation and Inspiration - from the natural world and the wonderful people who have taught me.

My inspiration comes from the natural world.  The plants and the wildlife which inhabits it, and these things inspire me to take photos, to draw, to paint and to make art.  Throughout life, we are inspired by art and people who make art.  The list for me is endless, but there are a number of people who have done exactly this.  Ross Wallis (Retired Head of Art at Sidcot School, Jo Millar - Head of Art at Cheltenham College, Cathy Pink - Retired Fine Art Teacher, Alison Shurville - Teacher of Photography at Sidcot School, and lately Simon Taylor and Kari Nyguard.  These people have taken the time to educate me in the skills I now possess to enable me to work as an artist.
