This richly illustrated (colour slides) 45-minute talk examines how women artists are forced through tradition, social circumstance and sexism into certain very narrow roles, to the detriment of their reputations. Using the life stories of key female artists from different periods and different parts of the world, this lively lecture shows us just what is lost when unconventional women are made to fit into pigeon holes, and aims to give a well-deserved boost to their unfairly low profiles. Option to present via Zoom.

I am an American journalist based in the North West for the last 18 years. I have written extensively on art themes for radio documentaries and the New York-based art magazine ARTnews, and now speak regularly to such groups as the WI, National Women's Register, Probus, Masonic Lodges, U3A and various other community leisure groups. I have a colourful background including years of radio broadcasting in the Netherlands and Switzerland, so I am a professional and engaging speaker. I have travelled extensively for my work and am multi-lingual. I have also worked as writer-in-residence at HMP Lancaster Castle (it closed as a prison in 2011) and I am now part of the Regional Heritage Centre at Lancaster University.
I live in the beautiful Lune Valley village of Wray and travel within approximately one hour radius for live speaking engagements. For those further afield, I am available via Zoom. Please contact me to discuss your needs - you won't be disappointed.
