Description:From Saatchi Gallery, Loan of Art, pp.35 - “Creating portraits of people others shy away from, Chalmers paints everyday people from the community. Often working in series with the same sitter, she captures their moods from apprehension to elation, working in an honest yet warm and gentle style with great painterly skill. We see their uneven mouths and high foreheads but also the tears welling in their eyes, and the smile playing on their lips.”
