Regal Rebel was inspired by portraits of Queen Elizabeth I in the National Gallery in London. I was fascinated by the extraordinary way these paintings turn ornament, wealth and symbols of power into overwhelming visual splendour. Elizabeth’s exceptional position as a female ruler in a predominantly male world of power added another layer to that fascination.
