Wild Woman

Stylized Portrait of a Wild Woman

“The spiritual lands of Wild Woman have, throughout history, been plundered or burnt, dens bulldozed, and natural cycles forced into unnatural rhythms to please others.”

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

About This Portrait

I drew this for my therapist back in 2019. I was deeply appreciative of her help in my process of aligning with my truth & reconnecting with my instincts. The portrait represents to me the symbol of feminine power & embodiment.

"Because in the beginning of retrieving our relationship with her she can turn to smoke in an instant, by naming her we create for her a territory of thought and feeling within us."
