Background Information

This family film was captured by celebrated Norwich artist Pippa Miller (1905-2006). Born in Oulton Broad to a boat-building family, Philippa Miller moved to her adopted city of Norwich to teach art and craft, from 1930, at what is now the Sewell Park Academy. Her love of both painting and of the Broadland remained a constant throughout her life, nurtured early in childhood when the Miller family would take to the water in a converted wherry, and Pippa would join her parents in painting the unfolding scenes. Two exhibitions of her paintings were held at Norwich Cathedral in 2005, her centenary year; “An Artist’s War” and “An Artist's Broadland”. Pippa Miller died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 101.
