The Bold Spirited Painting

As one of three sisters, fortunate enough to have an incredibly courageous mother, and having grown up around strong, confident, talented women that I am proud to call my friends - I returned to my studio to create a collection inspired by the strength and resilience of women. Some may know that I can frequently be found at various life drawing sessions around Bristol, drawing ✍? and drawing inspiration from incredible women every day. This collection is a true outpouring of passion on the canvas, inspired by the continued resilience of women and their ability to continue to blossom and bloom year on year, taking all challenges in their stride. For me, the piece is greatly inspired by the strength of mothers and I wanted to encompass both gentleness and warmth (warm tones), undaunted blossoming growth (indigo bloom), and the grit, resilience and determination (abrasive texture on the canvas) of women around the world.
