Lydia Rose Spencer is a figurative oil painter whose work is inspired by stories, people, and the complexity of our shared human experience. She uses light, color, and expressive brush strokes to convey emotion into her subject matter; she allows the volume and texture of the oil paint to add physical and emotional dimension to her work. She feels a deep connection to the female story and the many roles that women play in society; the themes of her work center around these ideas. She is drawn to capturing complex and often difficult subjects and emotions in simple and powerful compositions.
