I realized that I had spent most of my time living according to limitations set by society and family dynamics, things that told me what a woman “should” be. Since then, it's become my mission to break out of these limitations at every turn and to rediscover my own voice. This experience has been liberating and at times overwhelming, and I explore these feelings in my portraits. I address a variety of topics in my pieces, whether I’m celebrating female empowerment and sexuality or navigating the shaky territory that sometimes comes with challenging the widely accepted definition of “woman." I make each portrait starting with a digital version on Procreate and then translate it onto the canvas with charcoal and acrylic paint. Below are just a few of my pieces.
