Regina Noakes: Framing my Life

“The paintings in this exhibition have a certain intimacy and portrayal of closeness, which comes from the act of sharing spaces and everyday life closely with a husband, family, and animals. Cats feature in many works as they spend much time with me in the studio. Seemingly small moments are observed and many of the works are a return to distilled memories of childhood, interiors, and still lives. I have chosen to paint from my imagination rather than subjects in front of me, choosing to give the paintings a timeless quality where past and future do not matter.”
