What Inspired You as a Young Artist?

You went to one of the UK's leading art colleges. What inspired you as a young artist? The pot culture that was emerging in the late fifties and the 19 sixties all around you. You clearly had a flare for the visual arts and for design. Do you think artistic talent is simply found, or is it made by great teaching as well? "It's found if you've got good teachers. That's incredibly important"
