A series of Portraits of Mothers, completed over the Summer of 2024 by Ellie Andrews.

The women depicted in the exhibition are each at a different place in their individual motherhood experience.

Shared life experiences and connected moments between the artist and each woman are the backbone of this exhibition. They have orbited each other over the years and now suddenly all find ourselves in the same place - as women navigating our own mental health, future ambitions, career changes and a changing world, all through the lens of Motherhood.

This exhibition is accompanied by three free events (listed separately)

This exhibition aims to -

Highlight how powerful creative expression is for mental health

Keep mothers visible

Encourage us to reflect on how our society presents the concept of motherhood to the next generation of women

Supported by Leeds Council & Leeds Inspired.
