MIRANDA FORRESTER

Miranda Forrester is a figurative painter living and working in London. She undertook a course in Art Foundation at the University of the Creative Arts Epsom in 2016. Furthermore, she graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art Painting from the University of Brighton in 2019. Forrester’s artwork is concerned with addressing the invisibility of women of colour in the history of art and combating the fetishization of their bodies. Her paintings explore the queer black female gaze by examining the way identity impacts the depiction of artistic subjects. Forrester’s work is a celebration of women’s bodies– the joy in occupying feminine identities, and being in relation with one another.
