Description

  • ‘Defiance’ – A3 Fine Art Print

Hand-signed and numbered by the artist

Edition of 50

Bring home a piece of a painting that’s travelled—geographically and thematically.

Defiance is an award-winning work that has exhibited internationally, from Gallery Stephan Stumpf in Munich (Half Pound of Art) to the virtual stage of the FiKVA International Award for Painters, where it received an Honourable Mention. It is currently on view at Summer & Grace Gallery in Oakville, Canada, as part of The Power of She exhibition—where it was awarded First Prize, receiving the Cindy Cottrell Art Prize.

This portrait explores the power of stillness as resistance. The sheep-shaped stickers reference the pressures to conform—how society attempts to label and box us in. But the subject refuses. Her gaze is steady, unyielding. Defiance is a meditation on autonomy—on the quiet, unwavering decision to hold your ground, live on your own terms, and resist the expectation to shrink.
