Alexander WhittakerI was born in Wiltshire before moving to Lincolnshire as a child where I grew up and went to primary school, before moving to East London to study art at Goldsmiths College in my late teens. I subsequently studied art at postgraduate level and completed a second postgraduate degree in Asian Art and Architecture at SOAS, also in London. I am now self-employed and operate a small online business that promotes Asian art, as well as teaching yoga to children and adults in the local area. More recently I have set up an after-school yoga club at St Mary’s in Hartfield, where my daughter is a pupil. I am passionate about the value of education and strongly believe that good quality education should be accessible and equally available to all. After recently returning from living overseas for many years it is an exciting time for me to be able to deepen my commitment to our wonderful local community. If you can’t find me in either the yoga or ceramics studio, I am likely to be out hiking in nature, mowing the lawn or experimenting in the kitchen – with some expert help from my daughter!
