Art galleries are full of famous paintings of nude women like the 'Rokeby Venus', Rubens’ 'Samson and Delilah', and Manet’s 'Olympia'. But what about nude disabled women? Artist Melissa Mailer-Yates, who specialises in nude paintings, currently has a new exhibition in Birmingham. Angela Robson meets her and three of her models who are women with multiple sclerosis.
Melissa Mailer-Yates' exhibition 'See me … now see me' is open until April 1st at Number 9 The Gallery, Birmingham.
