About Print Sizes
Fine Art Print on 310gsm archival paper includes 5cm white border.
For example:
A print size of 60 x 60 cm would represent an image size of 50 x 50 cm.
A print size of 120 x 90 cm would represent an image size of 110 x 80 cm.
Because the border wraps the image, we add the 5cm either side which makes up the 10cm difference.

Artist Statement
As an artist I am compelled to celebrate the power that is the female form. With its magnificent curves, inherent strength, and ability to create life I aim to capture the essence of female empowerment. I like to play with composition and colour in a way that challenges the notion of femininity being synonymous with fragility, instead I strive to portray strength, complexity, and resilience, shedding light on the profound impact women have within the world. Through my artwork I invite viewers to pause and question preconceived notions of beauty and power, to challenge marginalisation and societal constraints. my artistic representation of the female form seeks to redefine femininity to exist unapologetically and boldly. Ultimately my art seeks to celebrate the female form as a source of strength and resilience. It is a reminder to challenge societal norms of femininity and beauty to celebrate the true powerhouse that is the female form.
