“I’m anonymous. Irrelevant next to the real presence – the paint on the canvas …”

The hidden life of an artist is told through the work they leave behind. But every painting holds its secrets. And when your story has already been told in a painting by another’s hand, sometimes it’s easier to live with the myth than admit the truth …

“Practically a feminist manifesto for women artists … a love story about the hidden lives of artists and the urge to create” — Cotswold Life magazine

Featuring Frida Kahlo, Laura Knight, Victorine Meurent and Suzanne Valadon, inspired by the life of Pre-Raphaelite painter Joanna Boyce
