To stay in the real world, I looked after the terminally ill for a number of years - I found something you can only do for a certain length of time.  For the past few years I have been running a small, efficient, gardening business in West London. Nature, wildlife and gardening are as important ( if not more important!) than my artwork. Google Andrew Garth Dyer Gardening Services West London on Yell.com!

Although based in Shepherd's Bush, West London, I try to spend time in France and the Pacific side of Costa Rica (my favourite habitat) whenever I can.
