Life

Lesley Sanderson 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.[2]

Sanderson's early works explored her own identity and mixed heritage using self portraits.[3] 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.[4] Her work also appeared in the 1988 exhibition Black Art: Plotting the Course.[1]

Since 1998, she has been collaborating with Neil Conroy as Conroy Sanderson.[5]
