French culture and fashion figure Michèle Lamy inspired me to paint this portrait of her smoking. She smokes frequently and is a keen boxer as well as muse to her husband, fashion designer Rick Owens. I was taken by the original photograph of Michèle smoking as she represents all that is authentic and enduring from her life experiences to her physical interests that require stamina of mind and body. I hope you will feel inspired by this image of person-hood and consider perhaps what could be running through Michèle's mind as she inhales from her cigarette. The combination of acrylic and watercolour gave me the chance to express strength and subtlety by nature of their application and to give credence to the multi-dimensional nature of Michèle Lamy's shape-shifting presence in modern day culture.
