Portrayals

These paintings and sketchbook drawings of women were inspired by old news footage and photographs from the 1920s and 1930s. They arose from an interest in female voices and female agency. The Three Grac(i)es and The Silence were selected by curator, consultant and arts speaker, Jo Baring, for the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition, London 2020.

Further Portrayals

The series Caravanserai hints at the dweller within, without portraying the individua. The paintings offer limited information to the viewer, merely suggesting ungraspable, individual narratives. 
A suite of insect boxes  build a portrait of The Life of Lady Henrietta Somerset, until now preserved in only one oil painting and barely mentioned in history again
