Als Creative Juice

Fine & Graphic Artist, Creative Guide and Dreamer.

I’m Al Warner, a self taught Artist living in Gosport, Hampshire, UK. With my wife Lisa (I would not be an artist without her), one of our daughters and our two dogs.

I always dreamt of being an Artist, life had other plans. I remained a hobbying artist working as a builder and an HGV driver. Finally turning professional in 2011 after illustrating a children’s book, ‘Stanley Gets Stuck’, written and self published by my late brother in law Paul.

I taught art for Hampshire Learning and we opened The Art Pod Studio in Lee-on-the-Solent. There I taught art and created my Eb & Flo paintings.  We moved around the corner into a larger building, in an alley which we named Windy Alley. We then moved The Art Pod Studio to North Meadow in Gosport where we concentrated on teaching art and our online design business.

In 2017 I had to stop painting/teaching/ designing and sell The Art Pod as I was struck with a chronic illness which took away many things including my ability to paint and create.  I spent the following  years relearning, using art as a therapy. Another knock back came on Christmas Eve 2020 when I was diagnosed with T4 neck cancer.  November 2021 my cancer went into remission.

Being given a second chance at life I decided to restart my creative journey on the 2nd February 2022 (02.02.02) reigniting my creative juice, hence ‘Al’s Creative Juice’.

I very much hope that you will join me for the ride.
