Lisa Rogers



‘In my self-portrait I wanted to show the real me, which I don’t think is the ‘me’ that the public perceive. What the public usually see is myself made up, so in my self-portrait I’m seen taking off my make-up and showing the real me underneath. I’m also painting my body and leaving an imprint of the real me. The notion of doing a self-portrait has allowed me to be myself in a way that my normal job doesn’t, which is quite refreshing, but also scary at the same time. Itss saying really I am like everybody else, but my self-portrait is just me, it can’t be anyone else.’
