Daisy Potter is a British figurative painter working in acrylics. Her practice centres on psychologically charged self portraits and portraits of women, rendered in saturated colour and defined by decisive black outlines. Patterned interiors and domestic spaces operate as both setting and structure. Framing the figure while suggesting the unseen environment of interior life.

She studied Textile Design at Central Saint Martins, where an engagement with surface and composition became foundational to her visual language. This sensitivity to pattern continues to inform her paintings, functioning as a device for containment, tension and narrative depth.

Following her education, she worked as a portrait artist and led workshops in Brighton before establishing herself as a professional scenic artist and prop painter. The discipline of large scale scenic work refined her command of spatial construction and theatrical presence, qualities that now underpin her studio practice.

Her ongoing series of annual self portraits act as a study of identity, marking time through paint. Across her work, the female figure becomes a site through which themes of sensitivity, inheritance and emotional endurance are explored with clarity and restraint.
