Description
I am fearless because I choose to be.
This painting is done in acrylics on canvas and is approx. 2.5 x 5 feet. The painting was a response to a particularly angry moment for me. A moment in which a dear friend called me while she sat huddled with her children, fearful for her safety as her husband unleashed more of his uncontrolled aggression . My friend- a victim of domestic abuse, of patriarchal mindsets and of public apathy.
I wrote these words for my friend when she was still fearful – today she is fearful no more. But fearless and powerful. I applaud that!

Kathakali is a traditional Indian dance native to the southern state of Kerala. To perform it, artists deck out in elaborate costumes and colorful makeup to tell stories from Hindu epics. It takes students nearly 12 years of training to learn the choreography and gestures necessary to Kathakali.
