Celebrating the essence of being human with all its flaws, fears and insecurities.
Portrait and figure painter, Sara Gregory, captures off-guard moments that suggest narratives or stories, through the subtle tilt of a head or a deadpan stare.
A recent series of paintings documented the effects that Menopause had on her body and mind during the seven years before taking HRT. These paintings cover subjects such as hot flushes, anxiety, rage, low mood, insomnia and the feeling of being lost. This series gained a lot of attention, winning her the People’s Choice Award for the Women in Art Prize held at the Roundhouse in Camden, before moving to the Mall Galleries for the Women in Art Fair. Previously, in 2022, Gregory was a contestant on Portrait Artist of the Year.
After studying Fine Art at Stourbridge College of Art, Gregory had a studio at Nicholas Treadwell’s Art Mill in Bradford and became an art teacher. After 25 years of teaching she now works full time on her art practice.
