Rapunzel – Freed.
I went on quite a journey with this painting. Reading the original Grimm version of Rapunzel deeply moved me: her long, beautiful hair cut by the witch who raised her, her exile into the wilderness while pregnant with twins, her survival of all that hardship, and finally her becoming the one who saves the prince.
To me, this is true female empowerment. I wanted to paint Rapunzel as defiant and transformed. And crucially, I wanted to give her long hair again - not as a ladder, not as something to be used or admired by others, but as a reclamation of power. A part of her body that was once appropriated becomes fully her own again.
Teaching on A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales; I`m loving diving deep into the original fairy tales, myths and stories and bringing one or other aspect alive of these stories on the page.
This piece is a `paint over collage` painting. We start off by laying down our collage elements and then layer paint, crayons, markers, acrylics, gold leaf etc on top. A deeply layered and moving process. 😍😍😍
I adore how this came out. I`m particularly in love with the lavenders, hot pink and layer collage pieces in this painting.
Last night a journal session to process *waves at all of this*. This spread went through a lot of changes. I filmed it all! Will be on the channel soon. 😘
Revisiting this beauty from 2 years ago. I intended her as a class but she somehow didn’t make the cut! I love her now and disagree with past Tam!
Friendly reminder; you`ve only ever been fabulous babe. 😃 Spread the word! You are fabulous, loved and awesome. 😊 ♥️♥️♥️
