HENRIETTA GRAHAM
I paint my life, from neighbouring kitchens now and during my early career in London, to travels across the world, from Jain Monasteries in the mountains of India to the fishermen on my doorstep in Cornwall, UK. I follow what inspires me. I am endlessly amazed at the beauty in the daily lives of people I encounter.
I have worked with chefs, musicians, coppersmiths, bullfighters, butchers, singers, stonemasons, monks, dancers, acrobats and more- the list is long… and it grows as I discover more and more amazing, inspiring and passionate people in my home town and on my travels. I run away with the Circus at least once a year now.
