Finished commission. A very lovely friend of mine commissioned this as a birthday present to a family member of hers, and THAT lovely person now wants one, possibly two more paintings. Feeling SO lovely :-)

How It All Started….
The following is an excerpt of an interview I did for online zine Invurt:
“The idea for SpaceGirl began a few years ago on a bit of a different vibe…I studied fashion design at TAFE and used to toy around a lot with the idea of wearing clothes as a form of social armour. When I was younger, I was very concerned with what others thought of me, and thought if I projected a certain image of myself through my outward appearance, I could protect myself from any negative opinions I may get from those around me. By the time I finished my course, I realised I really just loved doing art, and the idea of armour kind of morphed into a SpaceGirl through my sketches & eventually she found her way onto my canvases.
SpaceGirl became the person I wanted to be….she didn’t care what people thought of her, she dressed how she felt and lived her life the way she wanted without needing verification from others. Now I imagine that SpaceGirl flies around the universe being her awesome self & basically helping people figure out how to feel great about themselves. I have stickers that say ‘Call 1500SpaceGirl’ – it’s to remind us that we are fantastic and perfect as we are. And we’re the only ones who need to believe that for it to be true”.
