Her gaze challenges us, this is no mere mother, no retiring Madonna, her gaze defies us to look away, to break that contact.
Taking Renaissance inspiration, this is a modern mother, a single parent, a warrior, a negotiator and a survivor.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
A fine art graduate in 1993, I became established as a portrait painter concentrating on equines. My photography was an important supportive role offering sharp working reference imagery.
Over the last 5 years my practice has become almost exclusively photographic, exploring styled portraiture and evocative images of the horse, sometimes as partners, sometimes alone.
During covid lockdowns I experimented with remote shooting and underwater imagery, something that I have now developed into scenes reminiscent of Renaissance art.
