I am proud to be a successful female artist. I am particularly proud to be a female stone sculptor, as there are so few of us that exist. In the art industry as as whole, there is still a large amount of gender inequality - despite far more women in the UK enrolling onto undergraduate courses in the arts, there are far more men who get leading sector jobs and become collectors and far more male artists who gain sales, gallery represenation and who make up a far larger proportion of museum exhibition programming. I celebrate great female artists and hope to empower women with belief in themselves to do whatever they dream to do.
