Whilst I am working on my book I still have other projects on the go. I jumped at the chance to work with a property developer on a beautiful apartment in Belgravia. The problem he faced was the property for sale also included (optional) a vast painting in the main living area for £250 000! My mission, should I choose to take it, was to come up with an image that would work in that space and take on board proposed interior design. So the sale, minus painting went through and I set to work on some ideas. It was a dream job- big wall- my choice. I have long had a love affair with India and decided that  some crumbling old architecture would look good alongside all the modern polished marble, wood and glass of the proposed decor. So here it is finally in place, for a fraction of the price of the original!

For the past forty years British food has been ascending into world class cuisine, no longer the culinary joke- some of the greatest
chefs in the world are working in Britain. Behind this meteoric rise is an army of dedicated and deeply talented chefs.

For the past 18 months I have been following the greatest chefs working in our country today with the end result being a book, provisionally
Titled ‘A Portrait of the Great Chefs of Britain’. At the time of writing I have painted 15 with a good deal more to go, I am excited to report 34 are onboard!

‘I could give pages of hyperbole on why and how I paint, to spare you I can succinctly say I am driven
by capturing the soul and the daily joy of working with that marvellous stuff that is oil paint.’  Henrietta Graham
