Tahnee Lonsdale is a British artist, living in Los Angeles.  BA Fine Art, Byam Shaw St.Martins School of Art.    Lonsdale's work is about sex, gender roles and female empowerment.

Balancing and nurturing.  There is an ambivalence to the figures in her paintings.  Contradictory in their vulnerability and power.
