I'm an artist and art teacher with an interest in all forms of culture; I'm very interested in other people's ideas and points of view. I work at a secondary school as an Art Technician and teaching painting and Life Drawing to adults as part of a company that my wife and I run. I find handwritten letters a rare joy these days. I love music films, journalism, photography, and all of the visual arts, as well as history. I've believe life long learning, tolerance, conversation and humour are the basis of civilisation.
