Another rough-and-tumble, wild woman, marked with tribal paint and carrying a sword. Shes not afraid to use the claws of her own hands, a hint of that steampunk edge running through her.

Theres a striking balance in the turquoise and complementary orange across her face, bold and deliberate. Her mouth feels sharpened too, words like a blade, cutting when they need to. Theres attitude here, and a certain defiant edge.

This piece holds the spirit of a very specific moment in my artistic development.
