A "Strong Woman" piece. Intense love and fierce care for her family and close friends are central to her universe. In dependence, resilience and self respect are her strengths whilst embracing support of others. Standing tall, her body forms a subtle inward curve, creating an inner space to protect those in her universe. Thank you Heather for sharing your inner strengths for this piece.
111 - Fierce Love - Heather
90 x 60 cm moulding paste, resin and acrylic on wooden board
This portrait depicts a woman who draws strength from extending kindness to others. She sits framed by a ribbon of water and a beam of light, offering a glowing heart to shadowed figures gathered along a weathered stone arena; a red bra strap in her other hand suggests connection and care whilst serious gaze is almost challenging the figures to accept her quiet serenity. Textured surfaces and deliberate brushwork emphasize the reflective water and the warm, steady presence at the centre, creating a calm contrast between light and shadow. A contemplative, expressive piece that would make a meaningful addition to your home or workspace.
112 - Quiet serenity
100 × 70 cm acrylic and bra strap on stretched canvas
No Less A Woman presents a bold, abstract portrait from the Strong Woman series. A figure in molten oranges and yellows stands against a deep indigo field; circular voids mark where breasts and uterus were removed, while a discarded yellow bra strap hangs from her raised hand. The thick, sculptural brushwork and layered paint give the silhouette movement and tactile presence, and the contrast between bright figure and dark ground emphasizes resilience and selfhood beyond physical loss. The work expresses dignity, quiet defiance, and a wry, human tenderness. A striking addition to any space that will provoke reflection and conversation.
125 - No Less a Woman
70 × 50 cm resin, acrylic and bra strap on stretched canvas
Kind reflection portrays a vertical, surreal journey: two backpackers walk hand in hand along a worn path toward a luminous waterfall that divides the scene. Where water meets sky, two faces hover — one warm and whole, the other unwrapped in bands of pink — suggesting layers of identity, meeting, and looking back on her memories becoming more kind and supportive. A tucked-away cabin and the winding trail evoke travel, simple living, community, and a lighter footprint on the land. Earthy greens and misty whites balance intimate portraiture with landscape, giving the work a quiet, hopeful mood. This evocative painting makes a thoughtful addition to a living room, studio, or shared space.
