The concept of a flower growing out of the flesh of a woman's body reminds us that we are deeply part of nature and the fertility it brings. The image helps counter the negativity many women feel about their belly fat.

The painting has served as a healing image for women and affirms the journey of fertility and pregnancy.

The vibrator is intended to be incidental - but paradoxically of course it is the focus of the painting. This is a preparatory study that I am currently creating a giant 4' x 8' version of.

*The saying is often attributed to Gloria Steinem but was actually coined by Irina Dunn, an Australian writer, social activist, and filmmaker.
