WE WERE very grateful to the organisers of the Thurrock Art Trail for giving us an opportunity to interview the eminent painter, Norman Coker.
It helps when your first question is a life in painting and your second question is twenty minutes later.
The Linford-based artist describes the organic growth of his art from learning the piano at an early age.
Like many artists, the experience of war, clearly had a profound influence on his work.
Enough from us, listen to the artist.
