Paul Maslowski knew that he had found what he was looking for when, in1996, he saw a Chinese artist demonstrating Chinese painting and Calligraphy at the Leicester Chinese Community Centre.

After years of serious study in Taiwan and China, he continues to study Calligraphy and Painting with Taiwanese, Chinese and European artists. His work has won him national and international recognition.

Occasionally in my work as a hypnotherapist I’m asked to try and help people who have troubling and / or recurring dreams. One lady who came to see me said that she had a disturbing unpleasant dream. She was driving down a long, straight road at night and all was well. Suddenly the steering failed; the car veered off the road and plunged down a steep bank. To my client’s horror, caught in the headlights was a small child. She almost hit the child and then woke up horrified in a cold sweat.
