"An artist's life can be a lonely one, RadioÌý4 is my friend, I Ìýcannot imagine my days without it! I have a digital radio in Ìýfive rooms in my house, at least one or two are always on. ÌýI can work happily listening to RadioÌý4, the programmes are varied and if I’m not laughing at a great comedy, I’m Ìýlearning something new, or having a heated discussion with it on politics or some other interesting topic. I wonder if I could create my paintings without RadioÌý4? Possibly , but I would be very lonely!"
