Art on a Postcard International Women’s Day Auction - Curated by Women in Art

About 

I am a contemporary portrait and figurative artist based in London. I belong to a collection of artists called ‘Studio Fridays’ who have a studio space in Whetstone, Barnet. My main focus and passion are painting portraits that convey either a story or emotion hidden in the expression or pose of the sitter. I am currently painting a series of self portraits documenting my seven year struggle with the Menopause before starting HRT In 2022 I was selected to appear on Portrait Artist of the Year, which was an incredible experience and one that solidified my desire to become a professional artist. 

Education 

I graduated at Stourbridge College of Art with a degree in Fine Art. 

Select Exhibitions/Awards 

In 2023 I was selected to exhibit at the Roundhouse London as part of the Women in Art prize where I was awarded the People’s Choice Prize.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

I have submitted two self portraits for the auction. 'Still Waiting to...' (Oil paint on Card) is a painting related to my experience of lockdown and the frustration I felt waiting for life to get back to normal. 'Menopause No Sleep' (Pen and Ink on Card) is a drawing based on the painting of the same name that represents the terrible insomnia I experienced for seven years before starting HRT.
