I've recently been interviewed on a local radio station in connection to my appeal for NHS Charities Together. (it is now a podcast on Cambridge 105 Radio)
As well as been asked about my pop-up gallery and the Virtual Tour I was also thrown an interesting question at the end.
What advice would I give young artists starting out on their profession? My answer was the same I had given to a group of amateur painters when I opened their exhibition last year.
Don't make selling work, the main focus of your endeavour. Do something else to pay the mortgage and bills. Then one is not tempted to make work which will bring in the money and you are more willing to take risks and experiment further.
