This artwork was painted when I was an art student (circa 1993).
The subject was a fellow student who had had a pretty tough life.
Her art at that time was dominated by broken and torn dolls.
In the face of her difficult life she was forthright and presented to the world with her head held high in some defiance of any dross she might encounter.
She made me feel sad but at the same time I could admire her persistence in the face of her challenging life.
Through my eyes I feel that this is a very successful painting capturing some pathos in what I saw in her being. NW☺︎
