I did this painting at the weekend of Sennen Cove, Cornwall.
Trying to capture that magic light and gorgeous tones is what drives me with this series of paintings.

International Women’s Day offers a moment to reflect on the incredible contributions of women in the arts, particularly those who faced significant challenges due to gender discrimination. Here are a few remarkable artists who fought against societal norms and left an unforgettable mark on art history.
1. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656)
An Italian Baroque painter, Gentileschi faced significant obstacles, including a high-profile trial for rape against her mentor, which was compounded by the societal perception of women at the time.
2. Berthe Morisot (1841-1895)
A prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, Morisot was known for her delicate brushwork and intimate portrayal of domestic life. Despite her talent, she struggled for recognition in a male-dominated art world, often being overshadowed by her male counterparts.
3. Camille Claudel (1864-1943)
A gifted sculptor and a student of Auguste Rodin, Claudel had a profound influence on modern sculpture. Her tumultuous relationship with Rodin and the societal expectations of women artists led to her marginalisation and eventual mental health struggles.
4. Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986)
Often referred to as the "Mother of American modernism," O'Keeffe is celebrated for her large-scale flower paintings and desert landscapes. O'Keeffe faced both gender bias and the struggle to have her work taken seriously in a predominantly male art scene.
5. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)
A Mexican painter known for her self-portraits and works inspired by nature and artifacts of Mexico, Kahlo battled physical disabilities and societal expectations regarding gender roles, often using her art to express her pain and identity.
6. Gwen John (1876-1939)
A Welsh painter known for her intimate portraits, particularly of women. Often overshadowed by her contemporaries and brother, Augustus John, she struggled for recognition.
7. Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975)
A British sculptor and a key figure in modern British sculpture, Hepworth navigated a male-dominated field while also balancing motherhood and her career.
8. Faith Ringgold (b. 1930)
An American painter, writer, and activist known for her narrative quilts and vibrant storytelling, Ringgold's work addresses themes of race, gender, and social justice. Through her unique textile art, she combines traditional quilting techniques with powerful narratives that reflect her experiences as a Black woman. Her groundbreaking approach has opened doors for discussions on identity and representation in art.
These artists exemplify not only the struggles against gender discrimination but also the resilience and creativity that have shaped the art world. Their journeys remind us of the importance of recognising and supporting female artists today.
