WHAT
Known for her highly detailed and meticulously observed portraits, the English artist (b.1968) delves into the transient nature of life through a series of paintings and drawings created between 2018 and 2024. These works explore the vibrancy of youth, the subtleties of middle age, and life’s impermanence.

WHY
The artist combines a focused study of youth and coming-of-age with adult experiences of parenthood, desire and bereavement, evoking the complex cycle of human experience. Renowned for her portraiture, she has primarily focussed on her works over the past three decades to paint herself, her close friend and fellow artist Chantal Joffe, and their families.
