A young artist has attempted to capture the magic of the Fine City after being given the chance to show off her skills in a high-profile location.
Beth Mack has been turning heads with her work as a recent graduate from Norwich University of the Arts (NUA) and now she has been able to create a huge mural for the city's John Lewis store.

The 20-year-old, who lives in Pottergate, said: “It’s been an absolutely fantastic opportunity to have my work in John Lewis.
“I have recently finished my Fine Art degree at NUA and to be able to partake in a large project and to have my work publicly in a highly regarded store is amazing.
“It’s my dream to be an artist and it is difficult to get your name out there, but the mural has really kickstarted my potential career as a freelance or mural artist, and I am very grateful.”

Customers of the Westlegate department store will be able to inspect the mural in its new community and event space on the mezzanine near Benugo cafe on the first floor.
Jack Baxter, events and marketing coordinator at John Lewis, said: “It has been incredible to watch Beth’s process and see the mural come to life.
“John Lewis Norwich chooses to work with local talent to support the local community, tap into unique perspectives, promote sustainability and ethical practices, and leverage diverse skills and expertise."

The cathedral, market and castle all feature alongside the John Lewis store on the mural, alongside indies including the Book Hive in London Street and the Briton's Arms and The Bear Shop in Elm Hill.
Beth has been working on the project in recent months and will see it celebrated with an official launch event tomorrow (June 22), which is free to attend between 6pm and 8pm.
Jack added: “We hope everyone comes to see the beautiful mural that pays homage to some of the City of Norwich's most well-known businesses and landmarks.”
