Original artwork description:

I'm really enjoying my new series on Elegant Women. It reminds me of playing with dolls and dressing them up when I was a child. I paint women of all shapes, sizes, and nationalities, and dress them in beautiful outfits, including dresses, fascinator hats, and trendy styles. Some of my paintings simply highlight the beauty of the feminine form.

Marie is a strong believer in equality for women. She believes that women deserve access to education, decent work, the ability to participate in democratic processes, an equal share of scientific progress, and cultural life. In one of her powerful paintings, Marie seeks to honor working women, women on the runway, women in love, women who choose their own paths, and women who sacrifice for their children.

One of Marie's favorite quotes is "Every choice you make today will lead you closer or further away from the life you desire to live." She encourages people to envision the best of themselves.

Material: Heavy weight cotton canvas
Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Finish: The artwork is covered with 2 coats of protective varnish to enhance the colours and lustre and provide protection against UV rays and dust.

This artwork is sold 'ready to hang.' It is painted on thick cotton canvas with several coats of varnish applied to protect the painting and enhance its luster. It is then mounted on a Canadian birch 'gallery' frame, consisting of 1.5” mounting bars with appropriate supporting bars. The canvas is stretched over the mounting bars, making the four sides of the artwork an integral part of the painting. While not necessary, as the painted sides are very attractive, a 'floating' frame would complement this beautiful artwork.

The stretched painting is carefully protected with glassine paper and bubble wrap before being packaged for shipping to the customer in a box or crate.
