Staff member Amelia has chosen this painting ‘July Sunrise, Orwell Estuary, No.2’ as her favourite collection item by Maggi Hambling.

Amelia said ‘I have been looking at this piece a lot recently through the lens of wellbeing. The sunrise, to me, symbolises new and exciting beginnings. I just absolutely love the bright colours in this work and find it very captivating. I like a large piece of art that I can get lost in, and this piece is 160 x 122 cm. I haven’t seen this piece of art in-person yet, but I can’t wait to be able to stand in front of it and feel that warm glow of the sun!’
