Welcome to
Hayletts Studio
My World
Haylett's Studio, a thatched cob cottage on the Norfolk Broads, is both my home and my place of making. Living here with my family, I am immersed in a landscape of water, sky and shifting light, where the quietness and wildness exist side by side.
My work is an intuitive response to this environment. Rather than depicting the landscape directly, I explore its atmosphere, its stillness, movement , and underlying energy. I seek to capture something felt rather than seen: the shimmer of water, light bouncing through the leaves the sound of birdsong.
Colour plays a central role in my practice. I use it instinctively and emotionally, allowing it to build, dissolve and re-emerge, creating images that feel both familiar and otherworldly .
The process is physical and responsive, with each piece evolving through moments of control and release.
At its core my work is about finding quiet magic in the everyday where memory and imagination meet.
