What's your creative process like? Do you paint every day? I would imagine you do.

Yeah, I paint every day.

So I was a teacher.

So working up north, I did a lot of teaching that wasn't only art.

My other area is music and I did a lot of remedial work with literacy and so that was partly where the books came in as well.

In the beginning, I just had this real passion for art Children's literacy, particularly the children that needed a little bit of catch-up.

Yeah, so I paint every day now.

It doesn't sound like looking back you would do anything differently if you were starting over now? No,
