Sara Gregory
Gregory’s self portraits reflect on what it means to be a woman today, capturing moments of vulnerability, strength and resilience.
Some of Gregory's most recent paintings have 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. The series gained international attention, and received an award at the Women in Art Prize in London.
In Gregory’s, ’Woman of a Certain Age’ paintings, she questions the label’s underlying implications and its tendency to cast a shadow of negativity around female middle age. In truth, she says, 'older women should be celebrated for the life experience, accumulated wisdom and strength that they bring.'
