My Passion For Art Was Born In Prison | Gary Mansfield | The Sit Down

By Prison Radio Association

Gary Mansfield never thought someone like him could be an artist, but after taking a punt on an art class in prison, he found himself hooked. After writing to artists like Tracey Emin while in prison, Gary found the confidence to pursue art as a career when he got out. Here, he talks about why he makes the work he does and how the art community helped him along the way.
