A tiny qualifications information…
I am British, but my wife and young ones are Aussie, and we have lived in Brisbane because Sept 07. In Dec 08 we moved to Logan – in which we acquired an acre of land although we were being however in the United kingdom. I have put in 20 decades in the Uk Distinctive Outcomes field accomplishing all kinds of items, that even though they have been innovative, were being not actually ‘what I want to do when I mature up’. This calendar year at 51, I realised that I never want to mature up. I did an MBA prior to we still left the Uk in the mistaken belief that I experienced one thing to provide the entire world of administration. The dilemma is that the globe of management doesn’t’ comprehend that. Last yr my daughter Molly arrived around to get her folio together for artwork college and I bought into painting with her. This year, just after a brush with most cancers, I have realised that essentially, I just want to paint, and just after all this time… I have made that leap of faith. So I”m portray and drawing, some commissioned operate, some not. I’m operating in direction of an exhibition termed ‘THINKERS’ at Logan Artwork Gallery in May following yr. It’s a collection of substantial thinkers in the Brisbane locale…who’ve built a distinction to the rest of us, by becoming different one way or another. It will be about 10 or 12 paintings. I also train at Logan Art Faculty 3 situations a week, and operate a lifetime drawing team.
