Painting Level 3

My kaupapa this year is traditional women's work. This means my artwork is inspired by traditional past times for women, such as embroidery and botanical illustrations. My artist models are Elizabeth Blackwell and Frida Kahlo. My latest artworks are portraits of famous female fine artists (Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keeffe, Judy Chicago) with parts of their portraits embroidered. The reason being women use to not be considered fine artists, and embroidery is a form of traditional women's work. The works that I am currently doing are portraits with flowers coming out of their faces.
