Linda lives with her partner Keith and
their young son Charlie in a beautiful part
of Hertfordshire surrounded by nature
and rolling countryside, which provides
inspiration for her work. "I take Doug, our
Golden Retriever, for long walks to nearby
Hatfi eld forest. It's a national trust site that
was once the location of a hunting lodge
used by Henry VIII, and the forest covers
a large unspoilt area featuring a big lake
and quiet backwaters. It’s here that I am in
my element using my sketchpad or taking
photographs." Once back in the studio, she

AS A PROFES-
SIONAL artist for
the last 13 years,
Adam's work is inspired by wonderfully
happy childhood memories of family holi-
days by the English coast and an ongoing
love affair with Cornwall. "I’ve always been
drawn to the sea, and when I'm not in
Cornwall I think a lot about the last time
I was. Its atmosphere and mood forms
the backdrop to my work, and although I
don’t live by the sea, in many ways my work
brings me closer to it."
Born in Leicester to parents who were
creative in their own right - his mother a
hairdresser with strong visual ability and
his father spending endless hours building
models as a hobby - Adam began drawing
at an early age and went on to graduate
from the Kent Institute of Art and Design
with a fi rst class honours degree. He turned
professional in 1996 winning the ‘Best up
and Coming Artist’ title in 1999 and ‘Best
Selling Artist in the uK’ in 2000, and has
