Smartzie, whose name is Martin began life in South London, where he was sent to the only school that would have him. Thomas More. Purley.
With Dyslexia and ADD, he stood no hope of achievement and saw school as a torturous 'sentence' where the happiest day of school is when he left.
The gutter seemed very attractive after the horrors of school.
I went feral from day on and remained there till I was around 25 years old.
. Yes, I did get into substances but also saw first-hand the damage they cause, not just to myself but to others. It's a lesson learnt, so I now advocate for a better society and have a greater understanding from both sides of the fence.
I Lived right on the edge and somehow survived.
Being a major player in the 'Hippy Peace Convoy. Mutoid Waste Co pirate radio and generally being a public nuisance to the police.
I spent 6 years in America, performing on piano, creating art and enjoying the hospitably of the Southern States.
Partied it at Mardi Gras, enjoyed many events and ate way too much food!
I left the U.S for Australia and dare I say, dropped my 'anchor'.
Discovering art, was more than picking up a brush.
Firstly, It was understanding what I really like and somehow replicating that on some kind of artistic surface.
This began the journey of 'Thermal painting'.
Discovering the use of temperature to morph pattens in paint so to achieve tentacles of color was an unknown process, however with patience come results and I think you will agree they are stunning.
From Morphing color, we then looked at surfaces, consistency of paints and various dynamics of different brands.
It's taken 12 years to 'perfect' the art of thermal painting.
So finally, I feel ready to put my signature to the 'work' and ask you to look closely and take the time to enjoy the exquisite detail.
Thank you.
However, it's not just 'art' but producing radio comedy, Theatre performances, music and street theatre.
With a strong desire to do public performing, it's so good to be part of a community that embraces the arts and give everyone a fair go, no matter where you might be from.
Its was only recently, our local community hall too delivery of a brand-new grand piano.
This has encouraged emerging performers to get up and have a go.
After many years to struggle, how good is it to recognize the benefits of all getting along and encouraging the arts.

We never had this 'opportunity' growing up in South London so to be able to reach out and offer it is very meeningfull to me
Along with radio, music and arts comes a worthy 'wish'.
To offer all emerging artists a platform that will assess their work and 'maybe' recognize it for what it is.
The 'Academy of Modern Art' has stepped up and allowed me the position of curator.
So, along with other curators together we can help artists get ahead.
