The Strong Women Collection

The Strong Women Collection is a body of work celebrating the quiet strength in women in their day-to-day. From the obvious strength and grace in dancers to the gentle patience in mothers. These women know whose they are and they embrace the role of being who the I Am says they are.

The Strong Women collection will be available next week!

This collection started out when I played around “painting” digitally over my pencil sketches of dancers. But painting digitally and in real life are completely different for me, execution looked different and it became instead a practice in women figures. Some were dancers, some were a study on women and their poise and what characteristics gave them that poise. Cohesively, they were strong women.

There was something in my head that kept saying paint women and their precious children. It was not my original vision so I resisted. I was saving the idea for a future collection. But that nagging voice won and there was such a positive response from the first mother and her daughter painting in my DM’s that I continued with Mommas.

This collection certainly still reflects strong women, they are primarily reflected through mothers and dancers here. Although I was never a dancer I can’t help but notice the physical strength in dancers; and they do it so beautifully, making us all believe we can twirl on our toes and leap gracefully in the air. (Don’t try it at home, especially if you’re....ahem......mature) ;)

I’m still working on final touches on a few pieces. There will be a few more on paper and two on canvas that are so gorgeous they make me want to extend my release date and paint more on canvas.

Most have a touch of gold that shimmers perfectly when the light catches it.

I can’t wait to finish these up and share them with you next week! If you want early access, sign up here.
