This guide to the fabulous art destinations of East Anglia will take you to each county in turn, sometimes down the narrow lanes of our biggest cities, sometimes to the tiniest of hamlets along the smallest of roads, and sometimes to the grandest of our buildings, but always leading you to the very best art that exists in a destination many feel is one of England’s best-kept secrets.

Artists featured

 

Ann Ardron

Ann spends a lot of time outdoors, endlessly attracted to the beauty of the natural world.... 

Carolyn Reeder

Carolyn Reeder loves colour, texture and paint. The boldness of drawing directly with a tube of paint, or spreading paint with a palette knife, or designing with the brilliant iridescence of dichroic glass – all contribute to her artwork.

Helen Latham

Tender, unguarded moments as children soak up the sun and enjoy the summer. Helen Latham transfers these moments into oil on canvas.

Maggi Hambling CBE

Maggi Hambling's paintings of the sea show extraordinary vitality and brilliance of texture. They are amongst the best things she has done, and they are getting better and better. - David Scrase, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

Mari French

Having recently moved to Norfolk from the Isle of Skye on Scotland's west coast, Mari French finds the change of scenery immensely stimulating.

Marianne Koby Johnson

When Marianne Koby Johnson is out walking on road, field edge or shoreline, objects jump to her eye. Often the first elements come together as if by chance, then a succession of choices defines the gradual assembling of the image.

Naomi Brangwyn

Naomi Brangwyn's glass work has emerged and developed from initially studying art at Reading Art College, then at the Islington Institute as a mature student, and through work with textiles. Photographing Suffolk skies and seas combined with going for walks in the countryside provide constant inspiration....

Patricia Davidson

Whether it is a glimpsed ray of sunlight caught on the brow of a hill or the experience of awakening from a nap in a field, Patricia Davidson takes fleeting, transitional moments and abstracts the experience to the point where form and colour are used to evoke time and place.
