Allan Poxton

I am a self-taught artist/sculptor. As a child I loved to draw, paint and create and was recognised throughout my school years. However, at that time, it was not the norm for a Yorkshire coal miner’s son to become an artist or creative. Therefore, along with virtually everyone I grew up with, I found work.

About me
I started work as an engineering apprentice where I learned to weld and fabricate steel to casting and machining then on to an engineering design job. Along with work and the love of sport and life, a few career changes, Art was something I appreciated. I became a viewer rather than a creator.
