-Use to teach children with disabilities, but after finding out he had multicurosis from being constantly being tired, so lost the abillity to that any longer so moved on to being a full time artist.
 
-Selling a paint is work, you cant keep hold of all your painting for ever, you have to let go.
-The art you are working on is a master piece, when you have finished it, its crap.
 
-he painted figurative paintings for 15 years then moved on to abstract.
-He wanted to find his voice so that ment moving forward to abstract art. But didnt feel confident or connect with it until he heard music. He links music with art by rhythm and colour.
