My work as a professional visual artist is hugely rewarding – though, of course, challenges of all kinds are intertwined with my work/life balance. Like everyone else, I share the common array of worries; providing for my family, paying bills, staying healthy… we all have our own particular wheeling currents to navigate in our lives.
Perhaps surprisingly, drawing is also something I do to escape from everyday pressures – to leave behind those habits and instincts of our over-active minds to self-assess and make critical comparisons.
