  • Why did you create this work?
    I had laid out the Brontë's former home, and I loved one of the rooms so much that I thought it would be an ideal life to live in Yorkshire – to live like that. So, I painted a scene of how I envisioned it. Sometimes, painting is a way of bringing dreams to life.
