Like most children John was a creative force. Like most children, that fell away as his education progressed. By the time he left school it had vanished under the stress of exam competition. Unlike many, a personal tragedy, the death of both his father and brother at the same time, opened him up again. The Creative process was the only way that he could access, to navigate through the ocean of Grief, where he found himself.

Creativity is now a natural strand of his Being. He believes it’s inherent in each one of us, to be activated as a Lifeline when we need it. John works spontaneously in an inner directed Discipline.
