Fossil Finder In Us ALL
Mary Anning overcame barriers as a white working class woman to be recognised as a palaeontologist. She will inspire communities that make up Hastings’ diverse population this winter.
ExploreTheArch ‘s early-career team in partnership with Hastings Museum & Art Gallery are embracing and celebrating the life of Mary Anning and the act of ‘finding’ on our shores.
Join the team AND Denise Dutton’s touring Mary Anning maquette from 7 November 2023 at Hastings Museum & Art Gallery to explore our cretaceous curiosities and become a fossil finder!

ABOUT MY WORK
Initially when I began my venture into the world of painting, I explored the relationship between colour and self-perception. Using colour theory to explore common insecurities on canvas. This journey over the course of a year started to turn into something more self-diaristic, using my own self-perspective to relate to other women and recognise and celebrate one another.
A passion for presenting bigger bodies in order for them to be recognised as objects of beauty and validity, creating works that ignore classic standards and unattainable goals.
My work is for every person that has not felt seen or validated in both the body and self, an inclusion of the excluded.
