Juliet's Reflection

As part of my series on disfigurement and cancer, Juliet posed for me in 1998. It was only in the final sitting she chose to remove the patch from her eye. Designed as a triptych, each image reflects a different facet of her nature and her life. Despite her disfigurement Juliet remains one of the strongest and most beautiful women I know.

I really love the triptych thing you've got going on - it's amazing how powerful this picture is with both the eyepatch AND without. I don't think it would be quite as powerful without that extra element. I was doing some research on your work for my final year degree show - glad I discovered you and your work. Wonderful, moving stuff.

Artist Reply: Thank you so much Olga! Yes, I really wondered if I could ever do Juliet justice - to try and show what a wonderful, brave, strong and and, at the same time, feminine woman she is.

This is really a wonderful tribute to a brave and beautiful woman .......love this oil work so much ...and it shows us how unfair life can be , but nevertheless the message is it is worth it to live and umbrace it , isn't it ?

Artist Reply: jThank you Brigitte - yes, Juliet is indeed a brave and beautiful woman... and no matter what she's had to go through, she never ever complains or moans about a thing - she puts the rest of us to shame!
