I lived on and off Jersey for around 20 years, being a chef i used my culinary arts to help with my artwork. On my days off i would get my sketch book out and draw all the lovely scenery around jersey, mostly the coast line.

I never had much of an attention span so to combat it i just doodled, doodled on anything, jotters, beer mats, phone books. I got away from that habit by putting all my doodles on canvas, its such a stress reliever, but i adopted jersey or rather Jersey adopted me, its such a remarkable and diverse divine little gem of an island with so much to do, to take in and the views are breathtaking. I have painted a few scenes on canvas of jersey giving them to my friends on the island as parting gifts, i think there is still some of them around, but art in any form of visual is an expression of your minds eye.
