An artist balances early-morning family routines, regular painting sessions, and local cultural resources while drawing creative inspiration from nearby landscapes, galleries, and community.
Most days, she rises at 6:45 a.m., her assistant soon arriving, and "sticks the kettle on." The artist lives in a caravan parked outside of her studio, so she says it's really just "a case of rolling out of bed and into a pile of felt." They work until around 4 p.m., and then between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., the artist begins to paint. She says Netflix has been her prime accompaniment for these slots, for absorbing selections to aid productivity.
