Mandy Payne (born 1964) is a member of the Contemporary British Painting group and is an artist with a primary interest in portraying the regeneration of inner city environments and the transitory nature of urban communities.

[9] She has won multiple awards[6][10][11][12] and has received commissions including selection in 2017 for StudioBook - the artist professional development programme with Mark Devereaux Projects (MDP), Manchester - and was awarded Commission to Collect by MDP and the University of Salford Art Collection, to create a new painting considering the impacts of the Grenfell Tower incident upon Salford's housing developments.

Her compositions – bold arrangements of blank-faced geometric walls, empty windows and deserted walkways – similarly pull no pictorial punches.

Her images of Sheffield's Park Hill flats have the power and presence that most artists fail to achieve in a lifetime.

[24][26] In 2013 she gained a BA (Hons) Fine Art (First Class) degree at the University of Nottingham[27] and in 2015 she was awarded a 2 year Fellowship to study stone lithography at Leicester Print Workshop[28] under the tutelage of Serena Smith.
