The Raft Of The Medusa
This narrative painting is structurally based on Gericault’s The Raft Of The Medusa.
Exhibited at the Society of Women Artists’ annual open exhibition 2025.
Painted from a wide variety of references, including art historical paintings by Sirani, Kollwitz, Demont-Breton, and Rego, commissioned poses by professional life models, poses by friends and family, and a self portrait in the middle.
I recorded the process in stages, available as a playlist on my YouTube channel:
