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."
