Seven Videos on Incredible Female Artists by Art History School

Paul Priestley’s The Life of an Artist: Art History School series on YouTube is designed for viewers to discover the fascinating lives of artists, their aspirations, what motivated them, who they influenced, what they created, and why.

Born in Yorkshire, England, Priestley started teaching in the 1970s, eventually becoming Head of Art at an elementary school. He retired in 2000 to launch a new chapter in his career, Paul Priestley Arts. Today his offering includes The Art History School, plus his Paul Priestley channel, where Priestley offers videos on drawing and more. Below are seven videos of incredible women artists Priestley has put together.

You can support the Life of an Artist series via Patreon.
