Body Language IV

Oil on Belgian linen

I aim to address the complexities of contemporary female representation and experiences through figurative painting. My works explore the relationship between myself as an artist, my role as a daughter, as a woman and a mother, thereby investigating female agency within society. I am interested in the multiple versions of constructed identities required of women today and how, in each role and relationship, a woman may behave differently in response to each situation. I use my own subjective experience as an anchor to depict how strength, capability and achievement can share a voice within these societal constructs.
