A Visual Narrative Through Art: Autobiographical & Conceptual Fine Art
A 10th Century village I visited in 2019. It has a cathedral and churches, one of which, was first built in the 9th Century. Caves carved into the rock where monks lived. Little alleys, cobbled streets, amazing doors, and the home of the philosopher Tommaso Campanella.
This beautiful town inspired me to paint it.

Where am I?
I’m in Stilo, a small town in the province of Reggio, Calabria. Southern Italy. 😁
Thank you for visiting. ❤️
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
Eeeek….NO!
I would never want to re-live any part of my childhood. 😱
Actually… I wouldn’t want to re-live any part of my life. Neither good, nor bad!
This question is fully loaded… so I answer it with utmost restraint!!
Have a wonderful Friday! 😁
What historical event fascinates you the most?
Hmmm….I can’t think of any historical event that fascinates me.
Stepping outside, into the big wide world fascinates me.
Every step, every moment leaves a trace in history. That fascinates me.

What does it mean to be a kid at heart ?
I’ve never been a kid, so in truth…I’ve got absolutely no idea 🤷♀️
So instead of trying to answer this prompt, I will indulge in showing you another one of my paintings.

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?
Awww….what would I ask for if I had three magic genie wishes? 🤔
I won’t be greedy, I only ask for one wish!
My one magic genie wish would be:
To have unlimited wishes 🥳
I will need more than three wishes to rectify the numerous world issues.
Imagine the mischief I could get up to as well. 🤗🤗🤗
Describe a family member.
🤔🧐🤨🫤🙂↔️🙂↕️😔
Nah…..I haven’t got any ‘family’ members I want to describe!
So, here are some pics I took in my local park: Parc Cefn Onn, Cardiff .

Happy Friday here on Earth 🌏❤️
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?
When I was a child and teenager, I aspired to be a world class athlete. That didn’t happen! 🤷♀️
I’ve had numerous jobs, my first job (8 yrs old) was assisting the local milk man delivering milk to peoples homes. The days when milk was in glass bottles and placed on your doorstep each morning. Getting up at 3am every morning wasn’t the best, but there was something quite liberating, being up, out and about, when most people were still asleep in their beds. I did that job for three years.
My next job, I was now 11yrs old, I worked in a turkey farm ‘plucking’ turkeys. Eeek…a very messy & smelly role!
I’ve worked in a shoe shop…smelly feet!
Airport catering (inflight meals)…yuk food!
Bar person…didn’t like being on that side of the bar 😠.
Office work…boring!
Supermarket ‘online shopper’…they paid me to get & keep fit 🤗. But my brain cells died!
College lecturer in Art & Design…I love teaching, interacting, facilitating, encouraging, supporting, communicating, debating, laughing, and more importantly, learning from the students/learners themselves. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Ok, I didn’t become a world class athlete…but we can’t have it all, can we? 🤷♀️😁
