Empowering Her

The Empowering Her collection confronts the deep-rooted inequality of women’s representation in portraiture and within public memory. Through powerful portraits, the project celebrates remarkable women who are creating a lasting legacy for those challenging norms, advocating for change, and shaping Britain today.

Empowering Her Exhibition ran 4-14 March 2026 at The Gallery at Green & Stone, London, in support of UN Women UK and raised £10,000 for their charity.
