Lotus Pond in Orange, Green, and Gold — 40-inch x 40-inch (2023) Painting

I look at my paintings as windows through which I see my imagined self surrounded by lush green leaves, water lilies, and small, colourful creatures in the middle of dreamlike landscapes where women are not bound to their gender roles as determined by society at large. This is a world where a woman's identity is not limited to her anatomy or sexuality, but defined by her intrinsic, instinctive femininity and her inalienable connection to the divine feminine. I suppose that is why a desire to escape the indignity that still comes with being a woman in a world where the female body is often a battlefield and to seek refuge in nature has been such a persistent theme in my work. I believe that a better world is possible if only we return to nature and let it heal us. I consciously use this belief to create spaces that I hope will help others feel the same peacefulness and connect with their own feelings of joy, stillness, and contentment. When people look at my work, this is what I hope they will see — that despite what else happens, there is always love, and hope, and happiness in the world. - acrylic on 10 Oz. medium-grain primed pure cotton canvas - 40 inch x 40 inch / 101 cm x 101 cm - signed by the artist - comes with a certificate of authenticity Note: Please be aware that the painting you have ordered will be shipped as an unstretched and unframed canvas roll.
