Portraitist and still life painter Estelle Day makes her art from her home studio in South West London, after graduating in Fine Art from Oxford Brookes University. Working almost exclusively with oil paint, Day strives to make her pieces realistic, while also capturing the personality and character of her subjects.
Day collects objects— from shells to tea kettles— and uses them as inspiration for her still life paintings. Her Instagram captures the likeness between art and subject, making viewers think twice about which they are actually looking at.
Having quite the track record of exhibitions, one of Day’s portraits was on display at the National Portrait Gallery London in 2017. She also shows her work with the Society of Women Artists at the Mall Galleries in London each year.
