Joshua Heath studied photography at Art School but as a working photographer the the camera came to represent a tool of the trade rather than a form of artistic expression. After reading the Artists Way, Josh began painting using Posca pens on A5 coloured sheets of card. And then, at the age of 38, Josh suddenly had a stroke - and everything he knew about life, work and creativity turned upside down.
