Repainting History -

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”

TRIGGER WARNING This page and the pages it links to contain information about sexual violence which may be triggering for survivors

Repainting History is a series claiming back the female body. I paint historical or mythical scenes from a new point of view, and I paint the female body through female perception.
