Her art observes the passing of time, often in relationship to a particular place on the south Humber estuary where she lives and works,[3] or as self-portraiture.
[6] Of her work she says “for the past twenty years or so, my visual preoccupation within my practice has manifested itself in terms of human form.
I did a series of some two hundred works, derived from more than eighty participants, just concentrating on their facial features, but I’m not sure I’d call them portraits.
I have done portraits of other people, but perhaps, as an only child, who often had to entertain herself, the self-portrait has been most consistently prevalent throughout my practice.”[7] A member of the artist led group Contemporary British Painting, Ingham is a regular visiting lecturer in painting at the University of Leeds School of Design[8] and since 2008 has been the recipient of several awards from the Arts Council England for her studio practice and curatorial activities.
