When you believe strongly enough about something or someone, you will do more than just talk about it. You will be willing to stand up and take a stance clothed with grace and beauty, that will not take away from your strength, but make it stronger. Creamy strokes of paint with a mix of abstract, whimsy and realism. Her armor is in Silver Leaf. Her bow and Arrow are Gold Leaf as well as her shield, which is a replica from Joan of Arc.

Inspiration
This strong young woman is a family friend and actually is a skilled archer. This was painting was completed in 2019 and she is currently in college pursuing a career in political science, so the painting was prophetic in a sense, standing up and educating herself to a place of influence where she can make a difference in her world.
