Medium: acrylic on canvas
Artventure:
I wanted to portray modern women who've held on to beautiful aspects of tradition. The madras fabric depicted here in the dress and chapeaux paille (hat), is predominantly used to create the national wear of Dominica or 'Creole wear' as it is affectionately called.
Brought to the Caribbean by our African ancestors, the madras cloth is something we hold on to with pride. The intricate design patterns with intertwined and overlapping lines and shades have always intrigued me. Often used, is a multi-coloured version of the painted fabric. Less often seen is the black and white variation which I personally feel gives a timeless and more formal look.
Outlining the woman's form are hashtags that support and celebrate women and an aspect of Dominican culture.

All print products are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
ORIGINALS:
Original artworks are all hand-painted, mostly with acrylic paints. Other materials vary in style and source but all paintings come with a sealant coat to protect your art investment from dust and everyday wear and tear. As these do not come with mounting brackets, feel free to hang or place in your space using the method of your choice.
