After spending over 25 years in the Technology industry, I found art to be a release from the stress and long days. Having graduated with an Art and Design background I found that I made use of creative thought processes, problem-solving and lateral thinking during my IT working career. Over a year ago I made the decision to get the life/work balance under control and enrolled in a life sculpture course, creating glass and ceramic pieces. I immediately I knew this was something I wanted to put more energy into.
