This painting of Norbaku, a Rohingya woman I met in Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh, will be part of my MA degree show opening in one weeks time...
.
The exhibition will be at the Prince's School of Traditional Art 26th June - 6th July
.
If you are in London and would like to visit, it would be lovely to see you there! 💛

painting the finishing touches to Lalu's portrait today.
.
I love these words from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird: 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it'
.
What does it truly mean to imagine yourselves in another persons skin, to feel what they feel?
.

These are questions on my heart today, while painting Lalu's portrait 💛 .

I met Lalu on in the Rohingya refugee camp on the Myanmar border
.

She seemed so fragile and vulnerable as I sat with her and listened to her story.
.
When the military came to Lalu's village they began shooting and burning the houses. Everyone was running in terror from their homes. Her husband and two grandchildren did not survive.
.

My heart is full of the stories of suffering I heard in the camp. Each shelter, every family holds memories of grief and terror
.

Without truly seeing and valuing individual lives; war and violence become almost inevitable .
.

Through painting portraits of Lalu and other Rohingya women I met, I hope to show the sacred value of each individual, regardless of religion, race or gender 💛

over the last few weeks I've been painting a series of portraits of Rohingya women I met in refugee camps on the Myanmar border
.
Glimpses of these portraits to follow soon! 💛
