Ifirst showed an interest in painting during a family holiday in Cornwall in 2008, when I was five years old. I asked for a sketch pad in order to capture the Cornish light. I continued to draw, first using coloured pencils, and progressed to watercolour, acrylics and brush pens, then to oils and pastels. I paint en plein air most days, finding inspiration in the countryside around my home in Norfolk. Working en plein air is the most rewarding way to paint; to experience the freedom of being outdoors and to battle with the constantly changing light and weather is a test of one’s abilities and endurance. My favourite artists include Edward Seago and Alfred Munnings
