Artist Sharon Walters talks about her work with portraiture and images of women in relation to Francisco de Zurbarán's 'Saint Margaret of Antioch'.
Sharon Walters is a London-based artist and project curator whose series entitled ‘Seeing Ourselves', is an exploration of identity, beauty standards, and race through intricate paper cut-outs and hand-assembled collages. With over 20 years’ experience of working in arts spaces, she continues to develop her practice working in community arts organisations, galleries and museums including the National Maritime Museum, Soho House, the Tate and the National Portrait Gallery, using them as platforms to explore and collaborate with voices of those who are often excluded and unheard.
