About the exhibition

Her solo show consists of a body of work based on our skin. It shows a series of paintings exploring how our skin can affect how people see us. Whether is it is young or old, dark or light, damaged or inked it is merely an outer covering for who we are. This collection of paintings will show how incredible our skin is and how although it is sometimes used by others to hurt us we can also use it as a canvas to show the world a little more about ourselves.
