Die Künstlerin Carolyn Graham lebt in einem kleinen Fischerdorf an der Ostküste Englands und findet ihre Inspiration in der Natur. 

Briefly describe your hometown Mundesley

I live in Mundesley on the North Norfolk coast – it is a very traditional seaside village with a long sandy beach, and great for swimming and surfing.
.

What is typical for Norfolk?

There are beaches that go on for miles, rural undulating (1) countryside dotted (2) with quaint (3) villages of pretty flint (4) cottages. It’s a beautiful county which is busy in the summer but feels empty and remote (5) in the winter.
.

Which are your 3 favourite places in Norfolk?

  • The medieval city of Norwich, full of great coffee shops and quirky arty shops.
  • Cromer – my nearest town – with its pier and promenade,  local ice cream and fish and chips.
  • My beach! (It’s not actually my beach but I call it that as I live on a clifftop and there are steps down to the beach where I swim most days.)

.

Which are your 3 favourite places in Great Britain?

  • Derbyshire is my favourite place to go hiking
  • Cornwall for surfing and for wandering aimlessly round historical streets of little galleries and arty coffee shops
  • Cambridge where I used to have a market stall.
.

What is your motto for life?

Stay true to yourself, be open, free and alive!
.

Which three things would you take with you to a desert island?

  • A massive novel
  • Suncream
  • Swimsuit
.

What were your milestones in your career as an artist?

About 10 years ago I took the plunge (6) to be an artist full-time, it was at a time of upheaval in general in my life and it was a risk but I knew it was the only way I could focus on what I really wanted to do and with a lot of hard work and long hours that risk paid off.
.

What are the things that inspire you most?

  • The sea
  • Hills
  • Wildlife
.

What was your best nature-experience?

Trekking in Nepal, feeling completely immersed (7) and in awe (8) of nature.
.

What is your favourite sandwich?

Fish Fingers and cheese in chunky homemade bread.
