About The Artwork
The girl's face was a copy of a little girl I found in a book about the slums in Victorian times and the dress was inspired by a painting I saw in the National Gallery of two sisters sitting in huge white dresses by Richard Gerstl. I wish the canvas had been bigger as I couldn't get her dress big enough! I wanted to incorporate a rabbit in to the painting as i'd seen one in another work which looked really good but when I tried to paint one in to the background it didn't really work so I decided to give the little girl rabbit ears instead and then as I was painting her dress a white rabbit appeared in her lap.

United Kingdom
Using a mix of my imagination, life drawings and photographic references, I often borrow elements from history and folklore to explore what it means to be a woman in the 21st Century. The women I paint are at ease with themselves and not generally paying attention to the viewer. I want my women to be challenging to look at, confrontational even, which is why I often paint them face on and close up, producing a feeling of intensity. Their postures and often direct gaze are important expressions of their sense of self. I make a feature of their eyes to draw in the viewer. These figures are powerful yet feminine.
