This is the home page for my most ambitious project. Welcome.

What is By Degrees?

When I was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s back in 2008 I had no clue as to how radically my life would change. My perssonal blog Stitch This charts the ups and downs. Seven years later and, having ended my first career in accountancy, I am determined to have a second, long lasting, creative identity.

I started an MA in Fine Art at the University of Gloucestershire in September 2015. My goal is to understand and enjoy creativity, perhaps harness it for commercial gains, perhaps not. I want to make the most of time and energy. Then, don’t we all?!

I’d be very happy if you joined in too…it’s an adventure, want to come along?
