Education

Hayley developed a passion for art during her GCSEs  and went on to study it at A-Level where she focused on developing her skills as a painter. Hayley went on to complete a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at The Arts Institute, Bournemouth. During this time, Hayley experimented with many media and cemented her passion for human nature and the concept of female sexuality, writing an essay exploring 'What Makes a Portrait Sexual'.

Hayley was accepted to University College Falmouth to study for a Fine Art degree. Throughout her university career, Hayley explored various aspects of human nature, voyeurism and sexuality and developed her painting skills. In her final year, Hayley closed in on the idea of voyeurism and female sexuality producing a wide spectrum of paintings revolving around the subject. Her dissertation was titled 'Painting the Figure from the Perspective of Four 21st Century Artists' and was an in-depth exploration of modern figurative painting, focusing on the work of Kurt Kauper, Elizabeth Peyton, John Currin and Alex Katz.
