Noelle Francis, Painter
The sea and wild natural landscapes are my main interests. During the summer months I work and paint around my Norfolk garden and the East Anglian coast. During the winter I travel to find heat and colour in different parts of the world such as the rainforests of Borneo and South America and most recently my most inspiring ideas have come from coral reefs.
My work can be seen at Cork Brick Gallery, Bungay and the Harleston Gallery. Prices start at around £500 for a 61 x 91 cm painting in oils on canvas or board but smaller paintings are available at much lower prices.
