So interesting to read Fiona. I love shape too and am a big fan of that spread in Hiding Heidi!

Thank you for sharing these inspirations. I am going through a bit of a frog phase at the moment (just installed a plunge pool for them in the garden) and I too am a fan of graphic shapes and energetic lines. Happy to have found your substack 😊

That Frog! I bought a reproduction of him several years ago. I adore him. He also has siblings. But he's my favorite. So love your work.

The Frog sure has a lot of fans! I've tried to see the original at the British Museum, but the print is in a book that's sadly not often out on display!

Love that photo you took in Norfolk! It looks so much like your work! It’s really interesting to the breadth of things that feed into your work

Thank you! The photo is from back in the days when I used to get them all printed with little borders! : )

Thanks Lisa, I think it's a nice companion piece to your Q&A! : ) YES, I managed to get to a Joan Eardley exhibition of her landscapes in Edinburgh a couple of years ago, so so wonderful!
