Creating a narrative is highly important for Annabel when she is creating a piece. She wants people to look at her work, and each time find something new which they hadn't noticed before.
Her inspiration lies in her past. She believes it is more important than ever nowadays to remember our heritage and our background. We are beginning to forget our 'roots' and our own personal histories and forget that it is these that shaped the world in which we live in today.
Other inspiration includes wandering around London for example - by the time Annabel has meandered down avenues and alleyways she finds that she has gathered a wealth of ideas, captured by photographs or little doodles or perhaps flicking through old family photo albums, embarking on nostalgic journeys, providing a narrative to the good old days.

Oh these are wonderful! Love Annabels work!
