A deputy headteacher earning £50,000-a-year decided to give up his career to follow his passion.
David Barber decided to dedicate all his time to become an artist after selling off his three-bed semi in Newcastle-under-Lyme, moving into a smaller and almost derelict house in the village of Hankelow, near Audlem, Cheshire. Despite taking such a massive risk which many would be too scared to do, the 54-year-old has become a massive success - even selling his paintings across the world.
Before becoming a successful artist, Favid had worked as a maths teacher for almost 20 years. However, he held a degree in art and worked as a commercial artist before entering the classroom, Cheshire Live reports.
