Last year I began my Masters degree in Fine Art at Birmingham City University after about 15 years of postponing it because of work and family. During that time, I developed my own art practice as well as teaching art; so when finally let loose again as a (very) mature student, I had lot of ideas about what I wanted to explore as a painter. Once on the course, however, I was introduced to some completely new processes, and it's been an enjoyable journey discovering ways of working with film, experimental photography, the Adobe creative suite, photogravure printmaking and installation.
