Painter, born in Hertfordshire, who studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, 1975–9. In 2001–2, she had a solo exhibition at Tate St Ives, comprising small paintings in which “emptiness is a predominant feature”. Works which were “reduced and minimal and combine a sensation of stillness and unease” used coloured grounds of thinly applied oil paint and charcoal drawn lines on panel, designed “to evoke the shifting perspectives and delimit the borders of an architectural space.” Christine Koenig, in Vienna, Austria, gave Parsons a show in 2005. Parsons was married to the sculptor Antony Gormley and lived in London.
