For me, the start of a new painting always begins with a flicker of inspiration—an almost dreamlike idea or a fleeting mental image. It might arrive suddenly while walking through the Norfolk countryside or simply observing the natural world. These spontaneous moments of beauty often form the heart of my work.

There’s something truly special about living and creating in Norfolk. After time away, I feel incredibly lucky to be back in the place that has always felt like home. Norfolk’s quiet, expansive beauty has a profound effect on me—it seeps into my work in ways that are both conscious and intuitive.
