Turning Within Oil on canvas with dutch and gold leaf In this painting - which started as a lager version of The Protected Woman... I explored what its like to have huge dreams and energy for life, yet be constrained by the options your culture offers you. Some women "explode" outwardly... chose to fight for more rights. Others "implode" into a world of fantacy, stories, poetry or art - where risks can be taken and dreams pursued. © Nadia Warner - this picture may not be used in any way whatsoever without her permission. |
