Mark A. Stubbs was brought up in rural Herefordshire, in the small village of Bishops Frome. He had a great childhood with brother Paul, enjoying the freedom of the countryside. He was never far away from a drawing pad and getting lost in his own imagination. Mark loved school and was the Head Boy of the Queen Elizabeth High School in the nearby town Bromyard, where he now lives. Mark is now a Managing Director of a Packaging Company. In his spare time, he is a volunteer Guide, Brownie and Rainbow helper “Artist Owl” and has become a favourite with the girls. Mark played Table Tennis for many, many years until he was hit down with AVN and other mobility limiting

conditions. Although now disabled, Mark still loves to experience the countryside with his wife, Sarah-Jane, and daughters, Poppy and Amy, and naughty labradoodle, Barkley.
