Mad about art as a child, Mervyn had several pictures exhibited on Adrian Hills Sketch Club on TV. He tried to get into a local printing firm’s art department upon leaving school, but ended up in the Chemical Industry as a Colour Matcher in their Laboratory instead. When made redundant (so much for ‘job for life’ as his Father had told him), he tried to become an Art Therapist, but with two small children and a large mortgage, the 5 year training seemed an impossible dream.
