An Infinite Number of Anonymous Eyes is one of a series of paintings exploring the ways in which the female body is scrutinised, judged not only on its ability to look pleasing, but also on its ability to live up to expectations around reproduction and motherhood.

Women in Art - Raising the Bar (32/50)

Notes


A figure and portrait artist, my paintings mostly feature women and are a commentary on the weight of expectations placed on the female sex.  With a particular focus on the physical body and the scrutiny to which is it commonly subjected, I work in oils and seeks to highlight pigments in the skin that can often go unnoticed, emphasising and exaggerating them to accentuate their extraordinariness.
