Why Artists Become Artists ...., Why Art?
One of the most interesting aspects about art is understanding the why and the how of "becoming" an artist. There is a myth that artists are somehow born knowing that they are artists, or that some event occurs in their lives that causes them to become artists, or that artists starve, artists are misunderstood, artists are creative undisciplined types who could only ever be artists, etc. I have met many artists during my life, and I have found that very few of them meet common stereotypes. It has been suggested that all of us at one point or another produced what can arguably be called "art". We all sought image making as a form of communication and pleasure.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up". (Pablo Picasso)

"To be an artist is to believe in life". (Henry Moore)

My development in arts were attributed to my father, a professional photographer and an artist and thankful to my art teacher - Mrs Yonne Thorn at Sherrardswood Senior School (Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire ) encouraged me to follow my heart and desires in using my gift in Art. Thus ended with an 'A' Level in art and final qualification in the field of commercial art as Graphics Designer and Technical Illustrator.

"What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing: you wouldn't be an artist if you didn't want to share an experience, a thought". (David Hockney)
