The Way I See It is one of a series of paintings that considers what society expects of a woman, the ways in which her physical shape is often considered to define her, and the impact that this has on her life and sense of self.  Painted in oils on a raw linen canvas, the background is mostly absent to represent the way in which the bodies of so many women are judged without context.

Women in Art - Raising the Bar (33/50)

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.
