Peter Higgins | United Kingdom
If someone had told me when I was growing up on the outskirts of small town Bournemouth in the UK during the sixty and early seventy. That I would spend over 4 decades of my life exploring the power of my own imagination and to then go on and sell those images! And to publish books of my digital images and to also write and publish books about experiences from my life. Then I would have told them they were crazy! But that is how my life has turned out and now I could never imagine my life without creativity in it. So to see some of the results of how I have spent my life check out my website www.snopix.co.uk and if you want to know more details about me email snopixx@hotmail.com
DRAG ON I
Contemporary Art Station: Tell us about how you got started. When did you know you wanted to be an artist?
I woke up one day with time on my hands and thought of using it in a positive way so started creating. It is a story I have written about in my first novella " I'll be dammed " which is available at amazon.co.uk
CAS: What is your process like, from initial idea to the creation of the piece? Do you usually develop the idea for a project before you find the "canvas", or vice versa?
For me every day is a new adventure because I have no idea what I'm going to create that day until I sit back and view what I have done.
CAS: What do you love most about your creative process?
I just love the thought of creating something that never existed until I sat down and created it.
SUCK
