I attended Southampton College of Art many years ago enjoying a Foundation Art year followed by a 3 year Fashion Design degree. This resulted in a move to London for a few years working in the 'Rag Trade' in West End fashion houses.
Coming from a Fashion Design background the main content of my work is figurative. I am very inspired by Art Deco and the artists of its time.
The styles of different eras and cultures facinate me and are the focus of most of my work although I also paint contemporary and abstract pieces.
I enjoy researching and reinterpreting images onto canvas and experimenting with surface treatment using mixed media and acrylic to create rich and interesting textures. I have recently worked with oil paint which encourages me to be more adventurous with colour.
My African collection was inspired by trips to Kenya and The Gambia.

A Portrait of a Woman playing the Lute, possibly a Self-Portrait of the Artist, c.1615
by Artemisia Gentileschi
Artemisia Gentileschi (July 8, 1593–1652)[1] was an Italian Early Baroque painter, today considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation influenced by Caravaggio. In an era when women painters were not easily accepted by the artistic community, she was the first female painter to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence.
She painted [many] pictures of strong and suffering women from myth and the Bible - victims, suicides, warriors - and made a speciality of the Judith story. Her best-known image, Judith Beheading Holofernes shows the decapitation of Holofernes, a scene of horrific struggle and blood-letting."
temisia Lomi Gentileschi (Roma, 8 de julio de 1593 - Nápoles, hacia 1654) fue una pintora caravaggista italiana, hija del pintor toscano Orazio Gentileschi (1563-1639).
Vivió en la primera mitad del siglo XVII. Tomó de su padre, Orazio, el límpido rigor del dibujo, injertándole una fuerte acentuación dramática, tomada de las obras de Caravaggio, cargada de efectos teatrales; elemento estilístico que contribuyó a la difusión del caravaggismo en Nápoles, ciudad a la que se trasladó en 1630

Georgia O'Keeffe, Ram's Head White Hollyhock and Little Hills, 1935, the Brooklyn Museum
Georgia O'Keeffe was born in the late 19th century. She became known for her paintings, featuring flowers, bones, and landscapes of New Mexico.
Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986) was an American artist.
Born near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, O'Keeffe first came to the attention of the New York art community in 1916, several decades after women had gained access to art training in America’s colleges and universities, and before any of its women artists were well known or highly celebrated. Within a decade, she had distinguished herself as one of America's most important modern artists, a position she maintained throughout her life. As a result, O’Keeffe not only carved out a significant place for women painters in an area of the American art community that had been exclusive to and is still dominated by men, but also she had become one of America’s most celebrated cultural icons well before her death at age 98 in 1986.

She studied under the miniature painter Joseph Einsle. Her portraits, similar in style to the ones of Angelica Kauffmann, made her the first woman to enter the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
She spent the time between 1822 and 1824 in Rome, where she became a disciple of Friedrich Johann Overbeck. After this journey, she started painting religious topics such as "Christ Blessing Little Children" and "Mary and the Infant Jesus." Her two paintings "Der 12 jährige Jesus im Tempel / The 12 year old Jesus in the Temple", 1849 (oil on canvas, 203,2 x 139,7 cm) and "Hl Felicitas und ihre sieben Söhne / Holy Felicitas and her Seven Sons", 1847 (oil on canvas, 127 x 177,8 cm) were acquired by Queen Victoria who had been introduced to her work by the Prince Consort, who in turn had encountered the artist on his travels to Rome. They are now part of the Royal Collection in Osborne House.
She died in her home town of Konstanz.

Elisabeth Vigee-Le Brun (1755–1842), Self-portrait, c. 1780s one of many she painted for sale
Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (Marie Élisabeth Louise; 16 April 1755 – 30 March 1842) was a French painter, and is recognized as the most famous female painter of the 18th century. Her style is generally considered Rococo and shows interest in the subject of neoclassical painting. Vigée Le Brun cannot be considered a pure Neoclassist, however, in that she creates mostly portraits in Neoclassical dress rather than the History painting. In her choice of color and style while serving as the portrait painter to Marie Antoinette, Vigée Le Brun is purely Rococo.

She was born in The Hague, but moved to Amsterdam when she was three. Her father Frederik Ruysch, a famous anatomist, and botanist, was appointed a professor there. He gathered a huge collection of rarities in his house. She assisted her father decorating the prepared specimen in a liquor balsamicum with flowers and lace. At fifteen Ruysch was apprenticed to Willem van Aelst, a prominent Delft painter, known for his flower paintings. In 1693, she married a portrait painter, Juriaen Pool (1666–1745), with whom she had ten children. Her sister Pieternel was married to Jan Munnicks, a young man who drew flowers in the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam. Ruysch was extremely pious.

Él reunió una gran colección de rarezas y curiosidades naturales en su casa y Rachel ayudaba a su padre a decorar el ejemplar preparado en un liquor balsamicum con flores y encaje. A los quince años de edad, Ruysch empezó como aprendiz con Willem van Aelst, hasta la muerte de éste en 1683; Van Aelst era un prominente pintor de Delft, conocido por sus cuadros de flores. En 1693, se casó con un retratista, Juriaen Pool (1666-1745), con quien tuvo diez hijos. Su hermana Pieternel se casó con Jan Munnicks, un joven que dibujaba flores en el Jardín Botánico de Ámsterdam. Otra hermana suya, Anna Ruysch (murió después de 1741), fue también pintora, no quedando más que muy escasos datos, más allá de una pintura suya, copia de Jean Mignon, Escena campestre con una ardilla (Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe).
Giovanna Garzoni, Still Life with Bowl of Citrons, 1640 (Tempera on vellum),
Getty Museum, Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California
Giovanna Garzoni (1600–1670) was an Italian painter of the Baroque era. She was unusual for Italian artists of the time for two reasons: first, in that her themes were mainly decorative and luscious still-lifes of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and second, because she was a woman.
Garzoni was born in Ascoli Piceno. Her training was with an otherwise unknown painter from her native town of Ascoli Piceno. She gained substantial success at her trade in Rome, Venice, Florence (1642–1651), Naples, and Turin. She was patronized by Cassiano dal Pozzo and Anna Colonna, the wife of Taddeo Barberini. In Turin she painted for Carlo Emanuele II, Duke of Savoy. She returns to Rome in the 1650s. In 1666, Garzoni bequeathed her entire estate to the Roman painters' guild the Accademia di San Luca, on condition that they build her tomb in their church of Santi Luca e Martina. Her tomb monument by Mattia De Rossi is to the right of the entrance. Laura Bernasconi was also a woman painter of still-life flowers in Rome in the 1670s. In Rome, she would have been a contemporary of Caterina Ginnasi.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Judith Jans Leyster (also Leijster) (July 28, 1609 – February 10, 1660) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. She was one of three significant women artists in Dutch Golden Age painting; the other two, Rachel Ruysch and Maria van Oosterwijk, were specialized painters of flower still-lifes, while Leyster painted genre works, a few portraits, and a single still life. The number of surviving works attributed to her varies between fewer than 20 and about 35. She largely gave up painting after her marriage, which produced five children.
Judith Jans Leyster (también Leijster) (Haarlem, 28 de julio de 1609– Heemstede, 10 de febrero de 1660) fue una pintora holandesa que trabajó con formatos de dimensiones variadas. Cultivó las obras de género, los retratos y los bodegones.
Leyster era la octava hija de Jan Willemsz Leyster, un cervecero y sastre local. No se conocen bien los detalles de su formación. Ya en su juventud era suficientemente conocida como para ser mencionada en un libro holandés de Samuel Ampzing titulado Beschrijvinge ende lof der stadt Haerlem, escrito originariamente en 1621, revisado en 1626-27, y publicado en 1628.
Josefa de Ayala (Josefa de Óbidos), Still-life, c.1679, Santarém, Municipal Library
Josefa de Óbidos (1630 – 2 July 1684) was a Spanish-born, Portuguese painter from the seventeenth century. Her birth name was Josefa de Ayala Figueira, but she signed her work as, "Josefa em Óbidos" or, "Josefa de Ayalla". She is one of the relatively few female European painters known to have been active in the Baroque era. All of her work was executed in Portugal, her father's native country, where she lived from the age of four

Louise Moillon The Fruit Seller, (1631).
Louvre
Louise Moillon (1610–1696) was a French painter in the Baroque era. She became known as one of the best female still life painters during her time, and worked for King Charles I of England, as well as the French nobility.
[edit] BiographyMoillon came from a strict Calvinist family. Her father, brother Isaac, and stepfather were both paint dealers and artists themselves.[1] According to the RKD, Louise (also known as Louisa) learned to paint from her father Nicolas Moillon and Francois Garnier. She gained her particular style of still life painting from the Académie de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. She usually signed her paintings with Louyse Moillon.[2] Moillon lived and worked in France her whole life.
Louise Moillon (o Louÿse) (1610 - 1696), fue una pintora francesa especializada en bodegones.
[editar] BiografíaNacida en París, en el seno de una familia de pintores protestantes, fue hija del pintor Nicolás Moillon. muerto en 1619. Su madre contrajo nuevo matrimonio un año más tarde con François Garnier, pintor de naturalezas muertas y marchante de pintura, con quien se formó Louise junto con su hermano Isaac, también pintor.
Entre 1630, año de la muerte de su madre, y 1640 Luise trabajó activamente como pintora de bodegones, a los que ocasionalmente incorporó figuras humanas. Con una evidente influencia de la pintura holandesa y flamenca, aunque empleando una gama de colores más reducida, sus motivos más frecuentes son los frutales, generalmente en pequeño número y analizados con encantadora rusticidad.[1] Corresponden a esta etapa la mayor parte de los alrededor de cuarenta bodegones de su mano que se conocen en la actualidad. En 1640 contrajo matrimonio con Étienne Girardot de Chancourt, un rico comerciante de maderas de París y hugonote, pero Louise no abandonó por completo la pintura, que continuó practicando hasta 1682
Lavinia Fontana, Minerva Dressing, 1613,
Galleria Borghese, Rome
Lavinia Fontana (August 24, 1552 – August 11, 1614) was an Italian painter.
Lavinia Fontana was born in Bologna, the daughter of the painter Prospero Fontana, who was a prominent painter of the School of Bologna at the time and served as her teacher. Continuing the family business was typical at the time.
Her earliest known work, " Monkey Child" , was painted in 1575 at the age of 23. Though this work is now lost, another early painting, Christ with the Symbols of the Passion, painted in 1576 is now in the El Paso Museum of Art.[1] She would go on to paint in a variety of genres. Early in her career, she was most famous for painting upper-class residents of her native Bologna. She began her commercial practice by painting small devotional paintings on copper, which had popular appeal as papal and diplomatic gifts, given the value and lustre of the metal.[2] She later created paintings of male and female nudes and large scale religious paintings.
Fontana married Paolo Zappi (alternately spelled Paolo Fappi) in 1577. She gave birth to 11 children, though only 3 outlived her. After marriage, Fontana continued to paint to support her family. Zappi took care of the household and served as painting assistant to his wife, including painting minor elements of paintings like draperies.
Fontana and her family moved to Rome in 1603 at the invitation of Pope Clement VIII. She gained the patronage of the Buoncompagni, of which Pope Gregory XIII was a member. Lavinia thrived in Rome as she had in Bologna and Pope Paul V himself was among her sitters.
Some of her portraits, often lavishly paid for, have been wrongly attributed to Guido Reni. Chief among these are Venus; The Virgin lifting a veil from the sleeping infant Christ; and the Queen of Sheba visiting Solomon. Her self-portrait – in youth she was said to have been very beautiful – was perhaps her masterpiece; it belongs to Count Zappi of Imola, the family into which Lavinia married.
While her youthful style was much like her father's, she gradually adopted the Carracciesque style, with strong quasi-Venetian coloring. She was elected into the Accademia di San Luca of Rome, and died in that city on August 11, 1614.
There are over 100 works that are documented, but only 32 signed and dated works are known today. There are 25 more that can be attributed to her, making hers the largest oeuvre for any female artist prior to 1700. Sofonisba Anguissola may have been an influence on her career.
Fede Galizia, Judith with the Head of Holofernes 1596,
the figure of Judith is believed to be a self-portrait
Fede Galizia (1578 – 1630) was an Italian Renaissance painter, a pioneer of the still life genre.
Fede Gallizi, better known as Galizia, was born in Milan in 1578. Her father, Nunzio Galizia, also a painter of miniatures, had moved to Milan from Trento. Fede (whose name means "faith") learned to paint from him. By the age of twelve, she was sufficiently accomplished as an artist to be mentioned by Gian Paolo Lomazzo, a painter and art theorist friend of her father, who wrote, "[T]his girl dedicates herself to imitate our most extraordinary art
Fede Galizia ( Milán, 1578 - 1630) fue una pintora italiana del barroco, pionera del género del bodegón.
Fede Gallizi, mejor conocida como Galizia, nació en Milán en 1578. Su padre, Nunzio Galizia, quien se mudó a Milán desde Trento fue un pintor de miniaturas .

Esther Inglis, Portrait, 1595
Esther Inglis (married name Kello) (1571 – 1624) was a Scottish miniaturist, embroiderer, calligrapher, translator and writer. Of Huguenot origin (her surname was originally spelt Langlois, ie. "English"; Inglis being the Scots word for "English"), her family had escaped to Scotland to escape persecution. Learning calligraphy from her mother, she served as official scribe to her husband.
Inglis produced about 60 known calligraphic manuscripts. These were bound as miniature books.

Sofonisba Anguissola, Self-Portrait, 1554
Sofonisba Anguissola was born in Cremona, Lombardy around 1532, the oldest of seven children, six of whom were daughters. Her father, Amilcare Anguissola, was a member of the Genoese minor nobility. Sofonisba's mother, Bianca Ponzone, was also of an affluent family of noble background.
Over four generations, the Anguissola family had a strong connection to ancient Carthaginian history and they named their offspring after the great general Hannibal, thus the first daughter was named after the tragic Carthaginian figure Sophonisba.
Sofonisba Anguissola (también escrito Anguisciola o Anquissola) nació en Cremona (actual Italia) hacia 1532. Era la mayor de siete hermanos, seis de los cuales eran niñas. Su padre, Amilcare Anguissola, era miembro de la baja nobleza genovesa. Su madre, Bianca Ponzone, de familia influyente, falleció cuando Sofonisba contaba entre cuatro y cinco años.
Durante las cuatro generaciones anteriores, la familia tuvo una estrecha conexión con la historia antigua de Cartago, por lo que nombraron a su progenie en honor del gran general Aníbal, llamando a su hija como la trágica protagonista cartaginesa Sofonisba.
Catarina van Hemessen, Self-portrait 1548
Caterina van Hemessen (1528 – after 1587) was a Flemish Renaissance painter. She is the earliest female Flemish painter for whom there is verifiable extant work, and is known for a series of small scale female portraits completed between the late 1540s and early 1550s.[1]
While not an especially gifted artist, Van Hemessen is often given the distinction of creating the first self-portrait of an artist (of either gender) depicted seated at an easel. This portrait, created in 1548, shows the artist in the early stages of painting a portrait and now hangs at the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel.[2] Other paintings by Hemessen are in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and in the National Gallery, London.
A number of obstacles stood in the way of contemporary women who wished to become painters. Their training would involve both the dissection of cadavers and the study of the nude male form, while the system of apprenticeship meant that the aspiring artist would need to live with an older artist for 4-5 years, often beginning from the age of 9-15. For these reasons, female artists were extremely rare, and those that did make it through were typically trained by a close relative, in van Hemessen's case, by her father.

She also worked in France, where she cultivated a large circle of friends and clients, and later in Italy. She commissioned the first portrait of Napoleon to be seen in England. Her paintings and engravings are held by the British Museum, the New York Public Library and the British Library. Her work was included in recent exhibits at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 1995-1996 and the Tate Britain in 2006.
Cosway was also an accomplished composer, musician, and society hostess. She is notable as a romantic interest of the American statesman Thomas Jefferson in 1786 while he served as the American envoy to Paris. They kept up a lifelong correspondence until his death in 1826.
Cosway founded a girls' school in Paris, which she directed from 1803 to 1809. Soon after it closed, she founded a Catholic convent and girls' school in Lodi, which she directed until her death.

Elisabeth Vigee-Le Brun (1755–1842), Self-portrait, c. 1780s one of many she painted for sale
Louise Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (Marie Élisabeth Louise; 16 April 1755 – 30 March 1842) was a French painter, and is recognized as the most famous female painter of the 18th century. Her style is generally considered Rococo and shows interest in the subject of neoclassical painting. Vigée Le Brun cannot be considered a pure Neoclassist, however, in that she creates mostly portraits in Neoclassical dress rather than the History painting. In her choice of color and style while serving as the portrait painter to Marie Antoinette, Vigée Le Brun is purely Rococo.

Rachel Ruysch, Still-Life with Bouquet of Flowers and Plums, oil on canvas, Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Brussels
Rachel Ruysch (June 3, 1664 — Amsterdam, August 12, 1750) was a Dutch artist who specialized in still-life paintings of flowers, one of only three significant women artists in Dutch Golden Age painting, of whom Maria van Oosterwijk was also a flower painter, and Judith Leyster mainly not (the German botanic illustrator Maria Sybille Merian also moved to Amsterdam).
She was born in The Hague, but moved to Amsterdam when she was three. Her father Frederik Ruysch, a famous anatomist, and botanist, was appointed a professor there. He gathered a huge collection of rarities in his house. She assisted her father decorating the prepared specimen in a liquor balsamicum with flowers and lace. At fifteen Ruysch was apprenticed to Willem van Aelst, a prominent Delft painter, known for his flower paintings. In 1693, she married a portrait painter, Juriaen Pool (1666–1745), with whom she had ten children. Her sister Pieternel was married to Jan Munnicks, a young man who drew flowers in the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam. Ruysch was extremely pious.

Rachel Ruysch se trasladó a vivir a Ámsterdam a los tres años de edad. Su padre, Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731), un famoso anatomista, y botánico, fue nombrado allí profesor. Él reunió una gran colección de rarezas y curiosidades naturales en su casa y Rachel ayudaba a su padre a decorar el ejemplar preparado en un liquor balsamicum con flores y encaje. A los quince años de edad, Ruysch empezó como aprendiz con Willem van Aelst, hasta la muerte de éste en 1683; Van Aelst era un prominente pintor de Delft, conocido por sus cuadros de flores. En 1693, se casó con un retratista, Juriaen Pool (1666-1745), con quien tuvo diez hijos. Su hermana Pieternel se casó con Jan Munnicks, un joven que dibujaba flores en el Jardín Botánico de Ámsterdam. Otra hermana suya, Anna Ruysch (murió después de 1741), fue también pintora, no quedando más que muy escasos datos, más allá de una pintura suya, copia de Jean Mignon, Escena campestre con una ardilla (Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe).
Giovanna Garzoni, Still Life with Bowl of Citrons, 1640 (Tempera on vellum),
Getty Museum, Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, California
Giovanna Garzoni (1600–1670) was an Italian painter of the Baroque era. She was unusual for Italian artists of the time for two reasons: first, in that her themes were mainly decorative and luscious still-lifes of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, and second, because she was a woman.
Garzoni was born in Ascoli Piceno. Her training was with an otherwise unknown painter from her native town of Ascoli Piceno. She gained substantial success at her trade in Rome, Venice, Florence (1642–1651), Naples, and Turin. She was patronized by Cassiano dal Pozzo and Anna Colonna, the wife of Taddeo Barberini. In Turin she painted for Carlo Emanuele II, Duke of Savoy. She returns to Rome in the 1650s. In 1666, Garzoni bequeathed her entire estate to the Roman painters' guild the Accademia di San Luca, on condition that they build her tomb in their church of Santi Luca e Martina. Her tomb monument by Mattia De Rossi is to the right of the entrance. Laura Bernasconi was also a woman painter of still-life flowers in Rome in the 1670s. In Rome, she would have been a contemporary of Caterina Ginnasi.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Judith Jans Leyster (also Leijster) (July 28, 1609 – February 10, 1660) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. She was one of three significant women artists in Dutch Golden Age painting; the other two, Rachel Ruysch and Maria van Oosterwijk, were specialized painters of flower still-lifes, while Leyster painted genre works, a few portraits, and a single still life. The number of surviving works attributed to her varies between fewer than 20 and about 35. She largely gave up painting after her marriage, which produced five children.
Judith Jans Leyster (también Leijster) (Haarlem, 28 de julio de 1609– Heemstede, 10 de febrero de 1660) fue una pintora holandesa que trabajó con formatos de dimensiones variadas. Cultivó las obras de género, los retratos y los bodegones.
Leyster era la octava hija de Jan Willemsz Leyster, un cervecero y sastre local. No se conocen bien los detalles de su formación. Ya en su juventud era suficientemente conocida como para ser mencionada en un libro holandés de Samuel Ampzing titulado Beschrijvinge ende lof der stadt Haerlem, escrito originariamente en 1621, revisado en 1626-27, y publicado en 1628.
Josefa de Ayala (Josefa de Óbidos), Still-life, c.1679, Santarém, Municipal Library
Josefa de Óbidos (1630 – 2 July 1684) was a Spanish-born, Portuguese painter from the seventeenth century. Her birth name was Josefa de Ayala Figueira, but she signed her work as, "Josefa em Óbidos" or, "Josefa de Ayalla". She is one of the relatively few female European painters known to have been active in the Baroque era. All of her work was executed in Portugal, her father's native country, where she lived from the age of four

Hacia el año 1626, cuando Portugal y España estaban unificados, Baltasar Gómez Figueira, natural de Óbidos y segundón de una familia acomodada, marchó a Sevilla con inención de ingresar en la carrera militar, pero acabó ganándose la vida en el taller del pintor Francisco Herrera el Viejo donde se ocupaba de hacer las pinturas y preparar las telas.
Louise Moillon The Fruit Seller, (1631).
Louvre
Louise Moillon (1610–1696) was a French painter in the Baroque era. She became known as one of the best female still life painters during her time, and worked for King Charles I of England, as well as the French nobility.
[edit] BiographyMoillon came from a strict Calvinist family. Her father, brother Isaac, and stepfather were both paint dealers and artists themselves.[1] According to the RKD, Louise (also known as Louisa) learned to paint from her father Nicolas Moillon and Francois Garnier. She gained her particular style of still life painting from the Académie de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. She usually signed her paintings with Louyse Moillon.[2] Moillon lived and worked in France her whole life.
Louise Moillon (o Louÿse) (1610 - 1696), fue una pintora francesa especializada en bodegones.
[editar] BiografíaNacida en París, en el seno de una familia de pintores protestantes, fue hija del pintor Nicolás Moillon. muerto en 1619. Su madre contrajo nuevo matrimonio un año más tarde con François Garnier, pintor de naturalezas muertas y marchante de pintura, con quien se formó Louise junto con su hermano Isaac, también pintor.
Entre 1630, año de la muerte de su madre, y 1640 Luise trabajó activamente como pintora de bodegones, a los que ocasionalmente incorporó figuras humanas. Con una evidente influencia de la pintura holandesa y flamenca, aunque empleando una gama de colores más reducida, sus motivos más frecuentes son los frutales, generalmente en pequeño número y analizados con encantadora rusticidad.[1] Corresponden a esta etapa la mayor parte de los alrededor de cuarenta bodegones de su mano que se conocen en la actualidad. En 1640 contrajo matrimonio con Étienne Girardot de Chancourt, un rico comerciante de maderas de París y hugonote, pero Louise no abandonó por completo la pintura, que continuó practicando hasta 1682
Lavinia Fontana, Minerva Dressing, 1613,
Galleria Borghese, Rome
Lavinia Fontana (August 24, 1552 – August 11, 1614) was an Italian painter.
Lavinia Fontana was born in Bologna, the daughter of the painter Prospero Fontana, who was a prominent painter of the School of Bologna at the time and served as her teacher. Continuing the family business was typical at the time.
Her earliest known work, " Monkey Child" , was painted in 1575 at the age of 23. Though this work is now lost, another early painting, Christ with the Symbols of the Passion, painted in 1576 is now in the El Paso Museum of Art.[1] She would go on to paint in a variety of genres. Early in her career, she was most famous for painting upper-class residents of her native Bologna. She began her commercial practice by painting small devotional paintings on copper, which had popular appeal as papal and diplomatic gifts, given the value and lustre of the metal.[2] She later created paintings of male and female nudes and large scale religious paintings.
Fontana married Paolo Zappi (alternately spelled Paolo Fappi) in 1577. She gave birth to 11 children, though only 3 outlived her. After marriage, Fontana continued to paint to support her family. Zappi took care of the household and served as painting assistant to his wife, including painting minor elements of paintings like draperies.
Fontana and her family moved to Rome in 1603 at the invitation of Pope Clement VIII. She gained the patronage of the Buoncompagni, of which Pope Gregory XIII was a member. Lavinia thrived in Rome as she had in Bologna and Pope Paul V himself was among her sitters.
Some of her portraits, often lavishly paid for, have been wrongly attributed to Guido Reni. Chief among these are Venus; The Virgin lifting a veil from the sleeping infant Christ; and the Queen of Sheba visiting Solomon. Her self-portrait – in youth she was said to have been very beautiful – was perhaps her masterpiece; it belongs to Count Zappi of Imola, the family into which Lavinia married.
While her youthful style was much like her father's, she gradually adopted the Carracciesque style, with strong quasi-Venetian coloring. She was elected into the Accademia di San Luca of Rome, and died in that city on August 11, 1614.
There are over 100 works that are documented, but only 32 signed and dated works are known today. There are 25 more that can be attributed to her, making hers the largest oeuvre for any female artist prior to 1700. Sofonisba Anguissola may have been an influence on her career.
Fede Galizia, Judith with the Head of Holofernes 1596,
the figure of Judith is believed to be a self-portrait
Fede Galizia (1578 – 1630) was an Italian Renaissance painter, a pioneer of the still life genre.
Fede Gallizi, better known as Galizia, was born in Milan in 1578. Her father, Nunzio Galizia, also a painter of miniatures, had moved to Milan from Trento. Fede (whose name means "faith") learned to paint from him. By the age of twelve, she was sufficiently accomplished as an artist to be mentioned by Gian Paolo Lomazzo, a painter and art theorist friend of her father, who wrote, "[T]his girl dedicates herself to imitate our most extraordinary art
Fede Galizia ( Milán, 1578 - 1630) fue una pintora italiana del barroco, pionera del género del bodegón.
Fede Gallizi, mejor conocida como Galizia, nació en Milán en 1578. Su padre, Nunzio Galizia, quien se mudó a Milán desde Trento fue un pintor de miniaturas .

Esther Inglis, Portrait, 1595
Esther Inglis (married name Kello) (1571 – 1624) was a Scottish miniaturist, embroiderer, calligrapher, translator and writer. Of Huguenot origin (her surname was originally spelt Langlois, ie. "English"; Inglis being the Scots word for "English"), her family had escaped to Scotland to escape persecution. Learning calligraphy from her mother, she served as official scribe to her husband.
Inglis produced about 60 known calligraphic manuscripts. These were bound as miniature books.

Sofonisba Anguissola, Self-Portrait, 1554
Sofonisba Anguissola was born in Cremona, Lombardy around 1532, the oldest of seven children, six of whom were daughters. Her father, Amilcare Anguissola, was a member of the Genoese minor nobility. Sofonisba's mother, Bianca Ponzone, was also of an affluent family of noble background.
Over four generations, the Anguissola family had a strong connection to ancient Carthaginian history and they named their offspring after the great general Hannibal, thus the first daughter was named after the tragic Carthaginian figure Sophonisba.
Sofonisba Anguissola (también escrito Anguisciola o Anquissola) nació en Cremona (actual Italia) hacia 1532. Era la mayor de siete hermanos, seis de los cuales eran niñas. Su padre, Amilcare Anguissola, era miembro de la baja nobleza genovesa. Su madre, Bianca Ponzone, de familia influyente, falleció cuando Sofonisba contaba entre cuatro y cinco años.
Durante las cuatro generaciones anteriores, la familia tuvo una estrecha conexión con la historia antigua de Cartago, por lo que nombraron a su progenie en honor del gran general Aníbal, llamando a su hija como la trágica protagonista cartaginesa Sofonisba.
Catarina van Hemessen, Self-portrait 1548
Caterina van Hemessen (1528 – after 1587) was a Flemish Renaissance painter. She is the earliest female Flemish painter for whom there is verifiable extant work, and is known for a series of small scale female portraits completed between the late 1540s and early 1550s.[1]
While not an especially gifted artist, Van Hemessen is often given the distinction of creating the first self-portrait of an artist (of either gender) depicted seated at an easel. This portrait, created in 1548, shows the artist in the early stages of painting a portrait and now hangs at the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung in Basel.[2] Other paintings by Hemessen are in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and in the National Gallery, London.
A number of obstacles stood in the way of contemporary women who wished to become painters. Their training would involve both the dissection of cadavers and the study of the nude male form, while the system of apprenticeship meant that the aspiring artist would need to live with an older artist for 4-5 years, often beginning from the age of 9-15. For these reasons, female artists were extremely rare, and those that did make it through were typically trained by a close relative, in van Hemessen's case, by her father.
