This is a portrait of myself as my mother’s daughter. She came to live with me two years ago and died this Christmas a day after my birthday on boxing day. I was painting it as a tribute to my mother. It shows my belief that everything is inherited. I am my mothers savage daughter and will not be tamed nor my mother before me .We as artists inherit not only from our parents but other artists art builds on history and the history of art is forever moving forward. I believe is shows my belief that a portrait is more than just a likeness and more a statement of being.

This painting was created as part of my exploration into the meaning of pink . I’d always hated wearing pink and as a child growing up and disappointed my mother by refusing to wear it .I dressed my mother in pink aged 90 and had been expecting that she would look old and sad rather unexpectedly she looked vibrant and beautiful my prejudice showed.. She started loosing her memory and one by one she forgot all those things she held as part of her almost as if the rats had got in and her memories burst and she became lost .
