Michelle Clarke-Stables

Michelle Clarke-Stables, also known as McStables, was born in 1977 in Stafford UK. This British artist is best known for colourful, spontaneous portraiture work. She currently lives and works in Yorkshire, England. In 2013 her project, Snapshots of Familial Gazes, gained support from notable public figures Maya Angelou, Germaine Greer, Judi Dench, and comedian Jo Brand. As part of this project she also painted playwright Githa Sowerby. However, this painting was displayed separately at the York Theatre Royal. In 2014 Clarke-Stables worked on a number of projects. Whatever They Said, was a portrait project which looked at the exchange of language through face-to-face conversations and found text. The subjects included Egyptologist Joann Fletcher, comedian Arthur Smith, actor Judi Dench, fashion guru Gok Wan, comedian Francesca Martinez and writer Joanne Harris.
