Art. Tim Turton

I've painted, drawn and made things all my life. As a child I made Airfix models, whittled things, made marks on anything and knocked chunks out of wood in an attempt to create something.  At senior school I won a prestigious national sculpture prize for a life size model of my gran.  Whereabouts unknown. After leaving college, I like many artists had to work in other trades to supplement my desire to create.   However I was very fortunate, at twenty five I got a position of artist within a nationally recognised studio in the UK.  It was here that I really learnt to paint under the guidance of a talented mentor. Assorted jobs followed in addition to successfully selling painting and producing public artwork (paintings and mosaics).  There was also a time as artist in residence.  Interestingly the range of jobs I have had has kept me grounded, broadened my experience of life and added to my creativity. Following a break from painting due a personal loss I have started painting
