EMPOWERED - 003

So, we’re back with another installment of ‘Empowered’, the series where I interview a bunch of incredible women about their bodies, why they love them, why they don’t and then turn each of them into a gorgeous painting inspired by what they’ve shared.  

I hope you’re enjoying this series so far; it’s been so eye-opening for me. Here’s Episode Three of ‘Empowered’.  

What do you love about your body? 

I love my figure, it’s something I can control by going to the gym and I love how strong it is. It’s also something I can see I let go but gain back control. My body is often a reflection of the season of life I'm in. 

What are you most insecure about and why? 

I am most insecure about my skin. I've had issues with eczema and acne so have never felt like it does what it’s meant to do and brought me most pain. 

What colours do you associate with yourself? 

The first colours that come to mind are soft pastels. I am gentle and soft, which I often see as a weakness but actually is beautiful. Just like pastel colours are, they’re the soft versions of powerful and loud colours. 

What is your best non-physical feature? 

My creativity. It’s something that comes naturally and brings me so much joy. I am learning and growing in it and love that I'm able to do so.  

What made you want to get involved in this project? 

I'm excited about this project and to see what comes out of it. I love Amelia’s paintings and trust anything she creates will be beautiful and speak louder than words. 

This lovely lady shared the most wonderful answers, I love the way she spoke about herself so gently. I had a lot of fun with this painting and we chose the colour scheme together so it was exactly what she wanted. Thank you for sharing another side with me, and thank you again for trusting me with this painting!
