Constance Stokes b. 20 February 1906

Also known as Constance Parkin, Connie Stokes

Artist (Painter)

Stokes' art shows her interest in the human form, in particular the female figure. Her powerful nude female studies are beyond the erotic or decorative, rather they portray her perception of the alienation and isolation of women.
