User:Artbioshistory/About you

I am (obviously!) new to making Wikipedia contributions and I hope to gain some capability in this in time to come, so that I might contribute in areas of my own interest. Since I have had a lifelong love of the visual and performing arts (not as a practitioner but as a viewer) and, since I live in Scotland, my natural starting point in this is Scottish art, theatre and film. These seem to be natural topics for my possible contribution - so I am tentatively setting out on this journey now.

Why now? Well, I have just embarked on a new phase of life, having just begun semi-retirement as a university academic and this seems like a very positive way to develop new skills.
