Dani Trew

Dani Trew explores personal mythologies and notions of femininity in her drawings and paintings. Influenced by her career as a design historian and curator, as well as her multicultural background, her work uses disparate objects, textiles, and architectural features to examine tensions within internal worlds and narratives. She studied English Literature at the University of Oxford, and History of Design at the RCA, before working as an Assistant Curator in the V&A’s Furniture, Textile and Fashion Department. In 2015 she was shortlisted for the BP Portrait Award.
