An illustration depicting me as an artist. Most of the years that I have worked on my various art projects I have had to work around my children. Often I had to gauge the time when they would be in bed. If I tried to sneak in artwork whilst they were up and about my paint box would become a magnet to little fingers. My daughter was the hardest to work around because she became a human octopus as she grabbed the paintbrush and paints. She's now at studying Fine ARt at UWTSD and is truly talented, so I should have guessed that I had a little budding artist in the making!
