Of Beasts and Other Wonders
These two paintings emerged from a place of intuition, inspired by folklore, literature, personal memories, and the cities that have shaped me. Both depict women carried by extraordinary creatures through landscapes where reality and fantasy intertwine. The city becomes more than a backdrop; it is a place of memory, identity, danger, and belonging.
While Neither Dead Nor Tamed (the Red Horse) explores female rage, autonomy, and the courage to choose an uncertain life over a comfortable captivity, Trust Is a Feathered Thing (the Crow) explores the opposite kind of courage: the ability to surrender, to be vulnerable, and to trust that you are safe in someone else’s care. One woman takes control of her destiny, while the other allows herself to be carried. Both are finding their own way home.
