Northern stars: Wakefield's mining life – in pictures

[ad_1]

Illustrator and mural artist Seanna Doonan “grew up singing songs about the miners’ strike and other historical and social struggles”. Based in Wakefield, she depicts “parts of the city that no longer exist, such as buildings, pubs and markets”. These artworks use a combination of ink printing, paint and digital colour to encapsulate everyday working-class life, evoking, she says, “many emotions in local people”.

Originally due to go on display at The Hepworth Wakefield. Prints available to buy on seannadoonanillustration.com
