A former graphic designer who worked across book covers, gift cards and wrapping paper, her transition into fine art has quickly earned recognition from several prestigious awards bodies.</p><p><a href="https://www.northnorfolkstudios.co.uk/artists-and-makers-pages/gabriella-buckingham]" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE TO SEE GABRIELLA</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Her sculptures are particularly striking &#8211; expressive, characterful and full of emotion.</p><p><a href="https://www.northnorfolkstudios.co.uk/artists-and-makers-pages/annie-tempest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE TO SEE ANNIE</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Expressive, quirky and instantly recognisable, her playful designs strike that sweet spot between artistic flair and feel-good nostalgia.</p><p><a href="https://www.northnorfolkstudios.co.uk/artists-and-makers-pages/amanda-flowers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE TO SEE AMANDA</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Working from his North Norfolk coast studio, the printmaker’s experimental style gives his wildlife subjects a real sense of character and movement. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, Guy discovered printmaking while studying in Paris and has since picked up several accolades, including the Diana Brooks Prize at the Mall Galleries in 2018.</p><p><a href="https://www.northnorfolkstudios.co.uk/artists-and-makers-pages/guy-allen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE TO SEE GUY</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Inspired by the natural world around her Norfolk studio, her work balances spontaneity with carefully layered detail, creating pieces that feel vibrant, yet organic. Alongside her signature resin works, Amelia will also be showcasing abstract acrylic canvases, lino prints and delicate watercolour illustrations.</p><p><a href="https://www.northnorfolkstudios.co.uk/artists-and-makers-pages/amelia-mills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE TO SEE AMELIA</a></p></div></div></div></div>

Born in Australia, Janna&#8217;s art is mainly inspired by the animals she grew up with, although she has a particular soft spot for horses. Her studio is just up the road from The Gunton Arms, perfect for a glass of vino or lunch after ogling Janna&#8217;s unbelievable masterpieces.</p><p><a href="https://www.northnorfolkstudios.co.uk/artists-and-makers-pages/janna-cossettini" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WHERE TO SEE JANNA</a></p></div></div></div></div>
