This 8 x 10 inch mixed media portrait began with emotion. Layer by layer, I built it using textures, colors, and intuition. At the center, a plus-size woman meets your gaze. Her honey-colored eyes don’t just look at you; they seem to see right through you. She says so much without speaking. Her expression carries no sadness, yet no joy either, just presence, depth, and quiet strength.
Surrounding her, vibrant flowers bloom with softness and resilience. Her deep blue hair flows freely, full of movement and intention. I painted her lips in a bold coral tone to balance the coolness of her hair and create contrast that invites curiosity.
I started the piece by applying paper, gesso, and texture paste to the canvas. These materials built a foundation full of character. You can still see fragments of the first layers beneath the surface, holding the energy of where it all began. I added fluid acrylic inks to the early stages, letting them move naturally across the canvas to reflect the emotional flow that inspired this work.
This artwork is part of my ongoing series that celebrates plus-size women and honors the beauty of being real. It speaks to anyone who’s ever felt unseen, offering quiet affirmation and strength.
