Gordon Dickinson

born september 3rd 1959 in swindon, wiltshire.I am a self taught painter/sculptor,. I run a community arts company with my wife, Antoinette (toni) () our work with the community takes up a lot of time, but it pays the bills and is rewarding at times.
I don't get much space to express myself fully. Most of the work in my gallery has been created in those happy "self" moments.

I left school with a meagre amount of qualifications and became an apprentice coach builder in the Swindon Railway Engineering Works, this was a fantastic period in which I learnt many skills, carpentry, welding and sheet metal work not to mention life skills such as respect and confidence.i've continued through life with a realisation that you're never fully educated .... most of the stuff you allow your head accept is pointless ..... and with age you start to understand that that is, and that that isn't.
