# About me
I am a 70 year old artist. I worked in the film industry for 32 years as a film editor and then as a producer for a small production company.
I also had my own photographic business, weddings, portraits etc.
For many years I was chairman of Thamesmead Arts Club. A club that provided studio space, equipment and materials for the people of Thamesmead so that they could persue their chosen art - painting, drawing, sculpture, photography etc.
I'm heavily tattooed, a 3/4 body suit. I started with one small tattoo then another, then a large one and I was hooked. Many of my tattoos are my own designs.
I now live on the outskirts of Bideford, North Devon. I have beautiful views of the rolling country side. In the distance to the south is Dartmoor and to the east, Exmoor. It's just a few minutes to the sea so I am surounded by the beauty of nature.
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep".
"Love builds bridges where there are none".
"I shut my eyes in order to see".
"Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well"

Firstly, wonderful gallery!
As you are based in North Devon I wondered whether you might be interested in joining a group I've just set up for North Devon based artists: northdevondeviants.deviantart.…
It's a bit desolate at the moment but hopefully it can grow into a decent-sized group.
