Arabella Dorman is one of Britain’s leading portrait painters and an internationally renowned war artist, whose work hangs in high profile institutions and collections around the word. Arabella’s installations Suspended and Flight (St James’ Piccadilly, Canterbury Cathedral, Leicester Cathedral) have been internationally acclaimed in raising global awareness about one of the defining issues of our times, the forced displacement of people today. Arabella was listed as one of BBC's Top 100 Women (2014) and Salt Magazine’s 100 Most Inspiring Women (2015).
“To paint a portrait is to go on a journey with a stranger who – hopefully – becomes a friend. It was a joy and a privilege to work with someone where that friendship and sense of character and place came together so beautifully.”
