In the first interview, I talk about how I got into art, what kind of artwork I produce, current projects Im working on etc. I also talk about helping teach art at local schools with caricaturist, Steve Hearn. Steve explains to the children how they can produce portraits (which children often find hard to draw), simply by using numbers and letters.

If you are looking to get into art but arent sure how, or you are looking to start an art course but not sure which one...please feel free to contact me.

I also talk about the up coming local art trail. The A127 Trail (formerly the Basildon District Art Trail) is looking to be bigger and better than last years hugely successful event. Last year 35 artist exhibited at 30 venues across the borough. You can find out what happened last year, by clicking here.

This years art trail will run from 9th - 18th September. The closing date for application forms is the 31st January, so theres not much time. Forms can be downloaded from the events website by clicking here. Alternatily you can visit the events blog by clicking here.
