The sculpted and bulbous bodies of women are intertwined together, creating a feeling of unity
and strength. It is as if the warm Indian reds, browns and siennas that make up their bodies are
of the soil of the earth; withered by struggle and unfair treatment, which in turn, creates the
fertile conditions for Dandelions to bloom.

Dandelions, as many of us know, are a symbol of power, hope, integrity and independence.
Despite being trampled on, they thrive anywhere and everywhere and despite all odds – finding
even the smallest spaces to grow.
I paint women’s bodies with Dandelion heads as a tribute to the strong and independent women
around the world. Many find themselves, invisible, abandoned yet continue to thrive. As the
painting depicts, those who are not selfish bring a positive impact and help others grow with
integrity.
