# About me
I have as long as I can remember, drawn and painted.Work changes priorities as well as a family, so my art
really took a back step.
However when as a managing director I had a very serious work related illness, my art became my therapy.
Resigned from my profession and became a full time artist, which I did for 17 years.
Motorcycle racing was my favourite sport and became my focus for the art and resulting prints.
I lost an eye due to cancer, just about when things were looking good, but as luck would have it, I did not lose the desire or ability to paint, so I had a very happy and successful profession.
Now 68 and fully retired, down in beautiful Cornwall, where photography has become my new art form.
Cheers, Alan.
PS check out the web site, which has all my self published racing prints.
