JUST A LITTLE INSIGHT

RUSSELL GODDARD ARTIST

From an early age I realised that I could pick up a pencil, make marks on a piece of paper and the results, more often than not, weren’t too shabby. Throughout my school journey I did well in the art lessons, alas, maths and the sciences less so but, moving swiftly on…

My choice of career was influenced by my ability to draw and Graphic Design seemed to cover all bases. I say all, there were only two; I wanted to earn a living and I wanted to draw all day, not too much to ask eh?

Clearly it was, life in the real world suddenly took over and the pencils were shelved and only occasionally saw the light of day. Without question I took what ability I had for granted and it was only the possibility and realisation that I could lose it, did I decide to make the most of it. I now derive great pleasure from picking up a pencil and creating a piece of art and hope you enjoy the fruits of my labours.
