Artist Natalie Chapman grew up in a council house and received free school meals.

The 43-year-old grew up mostly on the mid Wales coast in Ceredigion .

She has turned her childhood memories into a collection of bold, autobiographical portrait paintings called All The Stories I Could Never Tell .

"I don't want my exhibition to be like poverty porn, because it's not," she said.

Her current show, which is at Canfas Art Gallery in Cardigan in Ceredigion until 30 November , is her ninth solo exhibition.

She is on a mission to “make the art world more inclusive and approachable” and works for a charity offering free art and music classes to 11-19-year-olds .
