Born in North Wales . Raised on Tizer , HP sauce , Angel Delight and Findus pancakes . Became interested in telling tall tales at an early age . Homework-eating Dragons and watches that mysteriously stopped working, played a large part in these early works .
Being introduced to Doctor Seuss , Edwin Morgan , John Donne and Rock music all played significant parts in early inspiration and development of the young artist . Later the works of Robert Frost , Rilke , Dylan Thomas ,Mary Oliver , Glenn Colquhoun and EE Cummings influenced direction and flavor .
Today ; meditation , time in nature , dream and love, all play out their roles in the dance of creativity .
The National Portrait Gallery is possibly the grandest place on the planet ! Take headphones and wander !
