The ideal woman has been a motif for as long as art has been made. The debutante in Bigelow’s 1945 portrait shows the young woman dressed to impress and presented for acceptance into society. The portrait I created shows a confident woman, stripped of clothing and ornamentation, so comfortable in her own skin that acceptance by outsiders in unnecessary.

Women are doing handstands keeping it all together with work and family. This is part of a series of five exploring women today with hope for the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) to pass.

While we all struggle with the difficulties of the world and our lives, I am hopeful that the colors, shapes and textures of this simple painting can offer some personal peace or joy.
