Introducing Heartwork — a tribute to the indomitable, heart-centred spirit of women in art! This stunning piece features artist Artemisia Gentileschi’s self-portrait — surrounded by lushly painted forest landscapes, birds, and butterflies. Gentileschi was an artistic genius from the 1600’s — outspoken and brilliant — who made a living as an artist during a time when few women did. In a letter to one of her wealthy patrons (who questioned her abilities) she famously wrote, “My illustrious lordship, I'll show you what a woman can do.”
