Painter Layla Lyons swapped the furibund life of London for that of an hermitic solitarian artist in rural Devon a few years ago. Here, in a tiny cottage with no electricity overlooking rolling hills and forest, she gets up everyday and paints, until the fading light means she is forced to stop. We got to know her and her work when she moved into our studio building in Stoke Newington, East London and for this task she invited us to stay with her in the cottage where she lives with Willow the dog. She hosted us as fellow artists and directed us to ‘paint through the pain barrier’ in the woods..
