I enjoy living in the country although regular trips to the city are a must. It’s good to return to the seaside town where I grew up, catching up with old friends, visiting galleries and new restaurants. Socialising is important but I also enjoy periods of solitude. The uninterrupted quiet of night time appeals to my artistic side. Animals have always played a big part in my life and bring a sense of calmness - usually! There is always that one mad cat!
