  • Tahnee Lonsdale is a British artist, living in Los Angeles. BA Fine Art, Byam Shaw St.Martins School of Art.

    Lonsdale's work is about sex, gender roles and female empowerment. But it is also about love, being loved and needing love. The push pull of what it is to be a woman and a mother. Bending and folding yourself to the needs of others. Balancing and nurturing. There is an ambivalence to the figures in her paintings. Contradictory in their vulnerability and power. An expression of what it is to be human.
