What a lovely feature in Vale Life Magazine.
People are always pretty surprised to hear I’m a Mathematician when they meet me as an Artist. To be fair, it’s the same in reverse, if you know me as a Maths Teacher it is often surprising to learn I am an Artist!
The two don’t ‘naturally’ go together, I suppose.
However, the way that I see it is that it’s the two sides of my brain both being used. Maths is my logical, problem solving, objective brain where answers are right or wrong. Then Art is my creative, subjective brain. For me, the two sides definitely compliment each other and cross paths regularly!
