The stories we tell ourselves ll by Maria Pierides [2022] Part of a series of paintings I worked on towards a group exhibition exploring the theme Journey. The Stories we tell ourselves is based on the idea that we can have quite self limiting beliefs at times, and how we can recognise this in ourselves to change things. When we do the hard work on ourselves, I feel that there can be quite a powerful shift. Additional information: Original Oil, soil stick, pastel and wax on canvas Image Size: H:100 cm x W:100 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:100 cm x W:100 cm x D:2cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look Maria Pierides trained as an artist and art psychotherapist and worked in the NHS for a number of years. She is now devoting herself full time to her art at her studio in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. Living within earshot of a running stream, she explores in paint the texture and temporality of human experience. Building up and scraping back areas of paint to capture the atmosphere, mass, light and poetry of the landscapes she is aiming to represent, Maria's work seamlessly connects inner and outer worlds. Maria’s painting has been shortlisted for the Society of Women Artists Open, Bentley Open Art Prize, The Maidstone Museum, The British Women Artists Competition and the East Meets West Art...

Heather Farrell Title : My Venus de Willendorf Materials : Mixed media on canvas Date : 2020 Dimensions : 4' x 4' Description : I was inspired by the ongoing racial inequalities and racism plaguing America. I have been interested in the history we are taught from a young age and what this history is geared toward accomplishing and for whom. I find it interesting who dictates what history is important and what can be commodified and taken for one group's benefit over another. The Venus is an important historical and artistic discovery and I use it as a symbol for the capturing of a culture, an idea or a virtue for one group's gain over another.

After all, the American government...
