Lesley Sanderson
Lesley Sanderson is a Malaysian British artist.
She was born in Malaysia in 1962, to a Malaysian mother and British father. She graduated from Sheffield Polytechnic with a BA in Fine Art in 1984. Her early works explored her own identity and mixed heritage using self portraits. In 1988, she participated in an exhibition titled Along the Lines of Resistance: an exhibition of contemporary feminist art, at the Cooper Gallery, Barnsley. In this exhibition Sanderson states that she uses the self-portrait to address racist and gender stereotypes.
Since 1998, she has been collaborating with Neil Conroy as Conroy Sanderson.
